Chinese Shar-Pei information please!?
My husband and I are getting ready to buy a 3 month old Shar-Pei from a known breeder who raises them around children. I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old. Are these dogs aggressive towards children? Are they good family dogs if they have been around children since they were raised the first couple months around children? Any other information would be great!
I know some one that breeds shar pei always thought they were funny looking dogs in a cute sort of way
You need to make sure that if you get one you go to a reputable breeder they can suffer from extra flaps of skin round there eyes that can need operating on like a human face life they can also suffer from entropion as well its were the eye lashes grow into the eyes and its painful
the person i know will not sell them to any one with children she just said they are not the sort of dog to have around children but i don’t know whether that is true or not

Overview
The descendence of the Chinese Shar-Pei can be traced back to the province of Kwung Tung. These dogs have lived in the southern provinces of China for many centuries. They used to be the dogs of peasants and helped them with the herding cattle and guarding of the family homes. In China, people refer to these dogs as fighting dogs, and in Canada and the United States they are referred to as guard dogs.
Temperament
The Chinese Shar-Pei is a highly intelligent, autonomous, noble and superior dog. They can be unfriendly toward strangers, but will always be very loyal toward their families. Seeing that they have a history of being herding and guard dogs, they are naturally alert and have a calm physique. This breed makes excellent family dogs, and will always be devoted toward their owners. In general they will get along well with children, especially when they have been socialised well as puppies. The Shar-Pei has a very dominant nature, and will need a firm trainer. The Shar-Pei will not be the ideal dog fir inexperienced owners.
Care
The coats of the Chinese Shar-Pei does not require a lot of maintenance, but should be brushed on an occasional basis to get rid of loose or dead hair. Using a rubber brush should to the trick. The ears of the Chinese Shar-Pei should also be cleaned on a regular basis, as well as the folds of their skins. Many owners tend to be allergic to their harsh coats.
Training
It is vital to train the Shar-Pei from a very young age onwards. These dogs should also be socialised from an early age, otherwise they will be aggressive toward other dogs later on. The Shar-Pei also loves to play with children, and will also get attached to one specific person. They will however adjust to be a family dog and be devoted to the whole family. This is a very stubborn breed, and the trainer should be very dominant. If the handler is soft, contradictory and insecure – the Shar-Pei will take over and become the dominant one. Firm handling is therefore the best method for these dogs.
Health problems
The Chinese Shar-Pei does have problems with their eyelids when they roll inwards, and this will in return irritate the cornea. They also have problems with swollen hock syndrome where the hock joint swells. The Chinese Shar-Pei also tends to have problems with vomiting, diarrhoea and also the painful swelling of the muzzle.

Dogs can’t digest corn and it has petroliem products in it, as in the same stuff they make gasoline out of. Dogs can live 20 or more years, but they don’t because the food they eat slowly poisions them. Any way sorry to go off on a tangent, I just passionate about taking car of our dogs the right way.
