How to choose a purebred Shar Pei? What are its characteristics

The Shar Pei, a dog with a rare appearance and unique personality, was once bred as a hunting dog, but is now more often bred as a family companion dog. But nowadays, the pet market is uneven, and for many people who have no experience in dog breeding, it is often easy to be fooled by unscrupulous traders and fail to select a satisfactory dog. If we want to raise a Shar Pei, how to determine whether it is purebred? 1, from its head: purebred Shar Pei’s head is fat, facial folds are obvious, the mouth is very long, the lips are very wide. Its eyes are triangular in shape, and its ears are half vertical and half pendulous with a certain curvature. Its forehead is covered with a large number of wrinkles that extend all the way to its face, and it looks like a sad face. 2. From its body shape: The Shar-Pei’s body is close to square, with severe folds in the neck and throat area. Its horse is slightly sunken behind the shoulder rung, and it is not qualified to be horizontal, arched or swayed. Its fore and hind muscles are very well developed and strong, and the whole body shape looks well-proportioned.3. From its coat: The coat of the purebred Shar-Pei is short and hard, the hair of the limbs is flat, while the hair of the main parts of the body is erect, with a total of seven colors: black, earth, white, red, gray, cheese and chocolate. The tail of the purebred Shar-Pei is distinctly different from that of other breeds, with a high tail root, which appears thick and round at the root, and a thin, tapered end, generally bending toward the back, while other forms are considered out of order. The above is based on the external characteristics of the Shar Pei to determine whether its pedigree is pure, the best way is to directly access its previous generation of pedigree sources, but small pet markets are generally difficult to provide such information. If you want to select a purebred Shar Pei, it is best to bring a partner with dog breeding experience to save a lot of trouble.
