Chinese Shar-Pei:
Frequently Asked Questions
Who wrote this web site?
Let me introduce myself.
Are you a breeder? I'd love to buy one of your puppies.
No, I train and show in obedience and agility, and I write books about dogs. For information on finding Chinese Shar-Pei breeders and puppies for sale, and buying Chinese Shar-Pei puppies, visit A Chinese Shar-Pei For You.
I'm bringing home my puppy next week. Which pages should I read first on your web site?
- Chinese Shar-Pei Health, which includes a natural health care program and advice on feeding, vaccinations, health problems, and choosing the right vet.
- Training Chinese Shar-Pei, which includes respect training, housebreaking, and socializing with strangers.
Congratulations on your new baby!
What kind of personality does the Chinese Shar-Pei have? The good points and the bad points?
Chinese Shar-Pei Review will give you a terrific introduction to Chinese Shar-Pei personality and temperament. What's good about 'em...what's bad about 'em.
If I just want a pet, do I have to bother with AKC registration papers?
First, you must understand what they really mean...and don't mean. Visit Registration Papers and Pedigrees.
There is an adorable Chinese Shar-Pei puppy at the pet shop. The store manager assures me they only buy from good breeders. Could this be true?
Absolutely not. There are no good breeders -- none -- who would ever place one of their puppies in a pet shop. Visit Chinese Shar-Pei in Pet Shops
Do you recommend male puppies or female puppies?
There are advantages and disadvantages to each! Visit Males versus Females.
How can I pick the best Chinese Shar-Pei puppy from a whole litter?
You can do personality tests with Chinese Shar-Pei puppies, and also physical exams. Visit Choosing Chinese Shar-Pei Puppies.
My Chinese Shar-Pei barks too much (or chews my belongings, runs away when I call her, etc.). What can I do to stop these behavior problems?
Most behavior problems stem from either miscommunication (you may not have clearly gotten across to him exactly what you expect) or disrespect (he may be deliberately ignoring your wishes). Visit Respect Training Program.
I want to train my Chinese Shar-Pei puppy to really understand what I say.

Help! My Chinese Shar-Pei still isn't housebroken!
Visit Housebreaking Your Chinese Shar-Pei. You will need to go back to the beginning -- into a pen or crate. No more freedom in the house until your new housetraining takes effect.
What is the best dog food I can buy for my Chinese Shar-Pei?
Real food! Visit The Best Food For Your Chinese Shar-Pei.
Which shots does my dog need?
Many vets are not giving their clients the latest information on booster shots. Visit Vaccinations...Needed or Not?
My vet doesn't agree with some of the things you've written about health care.
That's not surprising. There are two veterinary organizations in the United States. They disagree on the most important canine issues such as feeding, vaccinations, and dental care. Your vet no doubt belongs to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The health information on my web site comes from vets who belong to the American HOLISTIC Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA). Visit The Right Vet For Your Chinese Shar-Pei for more information on the crucial differences between these two organizations.
I have a web site about Chinese Shar-Pei and I'd like to add your link to my site.
Sure! Visit Chinese Shar-Pei Links. And thank you!
