Chinese Shar-Pei Characteristics
The Shar-Pei is a breed of Chinese origin. They are loyal to their master but will not submissively obey all his orders. They are intelligent, dominant and brave. They hate water, which will make them run long distances to avoid it. Chinese Shar-Peis were originally bred to protect, herd livestock, and hunt, but today they are loving companions. They are quite calm, although they are also independent and can sometimes act distant. Due to their strong stubborn personality, early training is required. They need a secure owner to establish leadership, otherwise they will not respect him and will try to take on the role of boss. On the other hand, training is generally simple since Shar-Pei learn quickly (unless they get stubborn, of course).
