When you look into the eyes of this Shar Pei puppy, you immediately feel how much love a dog can give.

Is it normal for a Shar Pei to grunt and snort when breathing?

Ann — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:52:58 +0000

This sand skinned canine companion looks so adorable with its wrinkle face and loose skin just waiting to be squished and hugged. But these dogs have a trait that some people may find either endearing or simply irritating and bothersome: grunting and snorting. It is very common to hear the Shar Pei make these noises and there’s no way to have them stop.

But owners must be aware to what is normal grunting or snorting as to what isn’t. If the Shar Pei makes these sounds accompanied with cough and physical weaknesses such as a limp tail, non-responsiveness and fever, then better take them to the vet straight away. Pneumonia can strike the Shar Pei and only through a blood test and chest radiograph can it be detected. Causes of this may be bacteria such as E. Coli, Klebsiella and Bordetella. These can be fought off using antibiotics. So if there is something off with a Shar Pei’s behavior, it would be safe to have them checked.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

What can be done with an aggressive Shar Pei?

Ann — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:55:09 +0000

The Shar-Pei is similar to the Chow Chow in having the unique blue tongue which seems to have a heavenly story or legend behind it. The breed is known for its scrunched face and “sand paper” skin that is said to help them escape the grasps of attackers or bites from other dogs. Although they look cute, they are also known for aggressive tendencies. This sprouts from their origins as fighting dogs.

If not properly socialized or trained by an experienced handler, these tendencies from bloodlines may take over. Extensive familiarization to people is one method of making them feel comfortable. It is also good to know that these dogs have an instinct to detect if someone or something is wrong. Being dominant, they can be a problem with other dogs of the same sex and can be a hazard to smaller animals as it will chase them down and probably kill them. The solution for easing this aggression is having a firm handler for obedience and socialization.

Training Dogs

Big Dog — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:09:43 +0000

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Shar Pei puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your Shar Pei as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your Shar Pei, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.

Want to solve your dog’s behavioral problems?

If you have ever tried to train a dog, you know from experience what a challenge it can be.

Shar-Pei Puppy

Shar-Pei puppies are soooooo small and vulnerable. Their cuteness is just emphasized ten-fold! (oops! no pun intended!) LOL

Exercising a Shar-Pei…

D Dog Fan — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 05:47:25 +0000

As with all breeds, the Shar-Pei is no exception to regular exercise. This should be done on a leash since you must never forget that this breed is a fighting dog, for all its lovable appearance. It is necessary for the Chinese Shar-Pei to be held back with a leash. They like to be let free, but make sure you are in an area that does not have people or dogs that may provoke him. They also love to play, so feel free to play with them regularly!

Why take your dog to the vet if you can give it a check-up yourself?
