Breed history

The Chinese Shar Pei is an ancient breed that dates back over 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty in China. Originally bred for guarding, hunting, and fighting, the Shar Pei was prized for its loose, wrinkled skin, which helped it resist injury in combat. The breed nearly became extinct during the mid-20th century under Communist rule in China, but thanks to dedicated breeders, especially in Hong Kong and the United States, the Shar Pei was saved from extinction. Its unusual appearance and loyal temperament have made it a recognizable and unique companion dog worldwide.
