#7 Shar-Peis were bred to have so many wrinkles for protection against attacks and bites.
#8 Their wrinkles become less pronounced as they age.
#9 Because the Shar-Pei was once a pit fighter and guard dog, this breed can be aggressive to other dogs or people.
#10 Because a Shar-Pei has such a short nose, it is prone to overheating.
#11 Their short noses also make them prone to snoring, wheezing, and being a rather loud running partner.
#12 Shar-Peis currently rank as the 50th most popular dog in the United States.
