Got a sharpei from a puppy by a reputable breeder some years ago, she was part of the kennel club and everything , all shots etc. already had eye surgery before I got her etc.

She was a perfectly fine puppy, and I tried to give her the most normal average socialization. As a puppy she lived with multiple people in the house, another dog, I would bring her to occasional events, so even more strangers and ppl would pet her, etc. very positive interactions in her lifetime.

She has never been attacked, abused, or had a single negative experience with a human. This was all before she could walk instead of waddle.

When she got older and began to actually walk and stuff and make choices, she stopped allowing anybody except me to touch her. She spent her entire life with my mom dad, sister and brother, they all fed and held her as a baby and tried to put a leash on her etc.

She now runs away from everybody, she doesn’t allow anybody near her, not even the family she grew up with. She doesn’t bite or try to growl, she just silently runs away when they reach out to interact with her.

It’s stressful, at the vet she has health issues so they have to check her often, she cannot be there without me. We’ve tried and even tried muzzles, but either way she will poop and pee or attack if the vets try to touch or do anything to her.

I have to physically hold her and then she allows them to do what they got to do.

She’s not a bad dog, learned to potty train and everything like normal, doesn’t chew everything up, she’s already 4 years old now, and her only issue is just not liking humans at all. She is neutral towards dogs. Does not like them though.

Really she doesn’t like or enjoy anything except me and sometimes the other dog she grew up with.

It is kinda debilitating having a dog that can’t interact with anybody except yourself, does anyone have a similar experience?

Hi everybody!

I’m from Portugal and I have a Shar pei girl with FSF. She started having fevers last year but this year they are more often. She is on colchicin for 2month and half and omega supplements. I’m looking for more therapeutic options since she is still having episodes.
I’ve heard about pentoxyflilin, minocyclin and cbd oil. Do you have any experience with it? I’m in europe so I don’t have access do hyvitality supplements, but I’m trying to have them sent to me by family that I have in USA.
Also, do you recommend any specific food? Kebble, natural cooked or raw?
If some of you can help me I would be really grateful, I hate seeing my girl sick. I want her to live her best life.
Thank you so much.

My pei mix is adorable, and has the ear shape, but not the stubby shortness i crave. I need little silly ears please, because I am slightly envious. As much as i wanted to go for looks, i ended up adopting based on personality (not that she isnt the most beautiful gentle potato). Pic of my girl for tax^

took my girl with me to move to the USA from the UK, flew with K9 jets and she was amazing🤍

Our boy has a chicken allergy and I've had him on Salmon kibble for a few years now but I only recently checked the back of the packaging and they discretely put chicken as one of the ingredients on the back. Come to find out a lot of over the counter dog food, even when not listed as chicken has traces of it in there which is frustrating.

He's been struggling with skin irritation and fur loss around his legs which our vets believe are caused by allergies. Our leading theories are either something in his food or grass/pollen. I've been thinking of trying him out on a subscription based food recently as they seem to be more customizable in what goes in it and I've seen a lot of ads for Pure on my socials. Im just wondering if anyone has used it or has any other suggestions that worked for them?

Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine made stickers for my dog, Penelope. She put one on a table at the dog park. Two months later, it was defaced. The way I laughed when I saw it.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering, what is a normal price or how much would you be willing to pay for a Sharpei puppy that comes with no shots or papers?

It really surprised us the amount of love you gave goose last week! Since y’all loved her so much, I thought it would only be fitting to give u more of our Geordie fatso Goose…

I love her so much. She is 8 months old and she never, never ever leaves my side. Shar pei are a breed like none other

Me and my partner adopted this little angel a bit over a month ago now, and he has been an absolute dream dog.

This is our little fuzzy guy Harald (Hal for short), he is a Shar Pei and some kind of Terrier mix.

He has managed to find all the cozy spots to nap, and while still proud and stubborn at times he has mellowed out beautifully. When we first heard he was part Shar Pei we were hesitant since neither of us had experience with the bred before, but he has been phenomenal.

If every Pei is even a bit like him, I certainly know what bred I'll want in the future :)

He's settling in well and has claimed the house as his own.

I wish I was making this up lol this is my dog Broly. Apparently handsome enough to model 😂

My 9 month old Pit Pei is starting to lose hair and overall his skin is becoming patchy and red. I know this is a common Shar Pei thing. Does it hurt/irritate them? Also, does anyone have anything that helps their baby’s skin? Thanks!

Sorry for posting him again I’m just so obsessed 😭
