The Shar-Pei represents a Chinese breed with southern origins. Known for their deep wrinkles in the West, Hong Kong Shar-Peis exhibit fewer wrinkles. Ranked 64th on the American Kennel Club's list of preferred breeds, their soft face, strong body, and behavior toward strangers all contribute. In danger or confusion, they may revert to their ancient instincts, becoming alert and distant. The Shar-Pei will fight back with determination until the threat disappears.
