This good-looking breed is certainly quite interesting and has a fascinating history to read about. 🤗😏So let`s see!👌
#1 The Shar-Pei (or Chinese Shar-Pei) is an ancient breed of dog that traces its ancestry back 2,000 years to the southern provinces of China, where it was used as hunters, herders, and protectors.😏
#2 Genetic research shows that the Shar-Pei is the one of the most ancient breeds that exists and is one of the very first breeds to split from dogs’ wolf ancestors. 🐶
#3 Its closest relatives are the Shiba Inu, Akita, and Chow Chow.😍
#4 Because of its fighting ability and prickly coat, the Shar-Pei is also known as the “sharkskin dog,” the “oriental fighting dog,” the “Chinese bulldog,” or the “oriental gladiator.”😭
#5 A Shar-Pei named Mui Chu was the second Shar-Pei to be imported into the United States and the first to be shown in the United States, during the 1973 Golden Gate Kennel Club show.🤔
#6 A Shar-Pei named Sweet Pea is one of the main ancestors of every Shar-Pei that exists today. He was a primary breeder that helped the Shar-Pei recover from the brink of extinction.👍🤗
