The Shar-Pei is a lovely breed with an unusual appearance. ๐They`re well-known but there are some more facts about them. Let`s see. ๐๐บ
#1 Trainers note that they should be trained and socialized at a young age. Because it can be independent and stubborn, a Shar-Pei can be a poor choice for a novice dog owner.๐ฏ๐ค
#2 During the Communist Revolution, the Shar-Pei population was decimated, because dogs were seen as a luxury and communists slaughtered many of the traditional Chinese breeds. ๐ฏ
#3 At the brink of extinction, the dogs were rescued by a Hong Kong businessman name Matgo Law who appealed to American readers in a 1973 edition of Life magazine. Around 200 Shar-Peis were then smuggled into America.๐ค๐
#4 Because a Shar-Pei has such a short nose, it are prone to overheating. Their short noses also make them prone to snoring, wheezing, and being a rather loud running partner.๐ค
#5 Overbreeding of the Shar-Pei has led to several diseases, including eye diseases, allergies (especially to soybeans), skin irritations, and hypothyroidism.๐ญ๐ฅ
#6 Shar-Peis currently rank as the 50th most popular dog in the United States.๐๐
