Resumen del Editor

The Shar-Pei is an intelligent and self-assured breed of dog that was developed over 2,000 years ago, somewhere in ancient China. Shar-Pei were employed as exemplary guardians. Guinness World Records declared Shar-Pei the world’s rarest breed in 1978, but the dogs’ stoic and devoted nature has earned them an equally devoted following. These ancient animals have become more popular in recent decades, and there are now many dog breeders in the United States who specialize in these unique canines.

In one convenient publication, The Complete Guide to the Shar-Pei provides all the information you need to raise your Shar-Pei pup into a regal, well-mannered adult. You will turn to this comprehensive guidebook for solid advice throughout your Shar-Pei’s lifetime, from your first foray into screening breeders to your precious pooch’s final years.

Shar-Pei tend to be cool and collected at home, making them generally easy to live with, but they also tend to be strong-willed and may be aggressive toward other dogs. In this audiobook is everything that you need to not only decide if this is the right breed for your household, but also how to ensure that your wrinkly little pup grows into a healthy and confident adult dog.
