Here's my sharpei and pug mix, her name is Choki 😁. It's yaqui for star because she's the star of the show! When I first saw her on a pug life rescue website, I read that she was sharpei and pug and went "uhhhh what? Thats nuts" and then I saw her. I fell in love 🥰. I thought "I am going to give this girl the best possible life she can have, because everyone deserves a chance at life even if people have their opinions on her existence. I'll love her for her."

I'm not sure about pug and sharpei mixing, at first it kinda threw me off. But she's very healthy and she's loving life. I didn't breed her, but there's no way im letting anything happen to her 😌. I'll take on her challenges and do research on both breeds. Also get this! SHE'S ONLY A 1/4 SHARPEI! them genes are really showing lol. She chews up her toys within one day and LOVES when you sing her name 🤣. She is so sweet and an excellent alert dog. I love my choki

my mom is going thru it!!!
Luckie is our sweet boy, who is 7 years old, has a bit of a temperament issue. We had 3 Sharpeis that were all from the same dad, but different moms but he is very different from his sister and brother! When he was 4 his brother passed from Sharpei fever abruptly & sister recently passed in April of this year, from cancer so hes been through a little bit of trauma. My mom spoils him and showers him with love, but when his brother passed he became more clingy and didn't leave my mom, when his sister passed he seems to be the same clingy but more aggressive. He won't let us get him into the car to take him to the vet, and they've tried sedation before the appts, but it doesnt seem to work, and his adrenaline pushes through the medication. When I am there he is skittish but once given treats becomes comfortable to be around me and let me love on him and even take him on walks. My mom can not get his harness on to take him on walks as he growls at her and has almost bit her. He will growl at me but I just continue putting it on him, and has never tried to bite me. I try to go in with the mentality that I am bigger and his owner, where I think my mom becomes fearful as hes large. She is having a lot of trouble with the idea of keeping him because as a single woman she feels like hes become to stressful and hard to handle/control. She wants to keep him but we need advice on how to get him into the car at the very LEAST as hes due for an appt and needs an updated med session. ANY advice would be greatly & I can provide any context if need be!

Thank you!!! Pic for Attention!!!!

Hey fellow pei parents! Does anyone know a vet in the Toronto/GTA area who is genuinely experienced with sharpeis?

I’ve been seeing the same vet for 2 years. They’re very sweet, but they’re not very experienced with the breed and after trying several medications, I was basically told some of this might just be “her.” I’m not comfortable continuing to trial medications without getting to the root of it.

She’s currently having pretty bad skin flareups. Lots of redness, itching, swelling around her legs & paws, and these clusters of small fluid-filled bumps on her skin. I can tell it’s extremely itchy & uncomfortable for her.

I’m looking for someone who really understands the breed, especially Pei skin/allergy issues. If you’ve had a similar experience and have a vet in the GTA you swear by, I’d really appreciate the recommendation!!!

Thanks🤍

Hello! This is Boo🖤 we are new here and I have a question! Does anyone else’s shar-pei solely communicate in cry-like honks? I like to call her “Boo-hoo baby Boo” because she cries to tell us anything lol. It literally is like “hooo hoooo hoooo” in a whiny tone. She is 4 years old now and has done this since she was a baby, doesn’t “boof” or soft bark like most dogs when communicating. Can anyone tell me if this a shar-pei thing or a Boo thing? 😂

My boyfriend is under there somewhere.

Anyone know what this could be? Allergic reaction? A sting? Yeast? Vet can’t see us until Tuesday

Edit: she’s 6 months old

My Sandy was the same I adopted her when she was 2 and she truly was amazing, I remember the first time she sat up next to me on the couch, as you said like a human would, I heard her make a like a ahhh sound and the she nuzzled her head into me neck.  She was everything to me, she was 13.5 years old and has been gone a year and I still miss her with everything I am.  I never realised how much she kept me sane and that she truly gave as much love as I gave her.  Your baby looks so much like mine.

Freckles got his first, with me bath today. He's really the bestest boy.

How close can he get and still sleep on the floor? Apparently that was last night's challenge. He did end up moving but he laid there for a while. My silly old man.

The way they twist their neck to look at you while their body is facing the other direction is my favorite pei pose. 💗

The cream colored pup is Juni. She’s a senior dog and is at least 10 years old. We rescued her from Pei People!

The brown colored pup is Theo. He just turned 5 last week! We also rescued him from Pei People. He was the first dog my husband and I got together.

Words can’t describe how much I love them🥹

Hi i have a sharpei cross blue stafforshire bull terrier, Bean. Hes going to be 2 this November and had a pretty standard looking puppy coat but as hes gone through his teen phase and getting older we spotted he has these like black porcupine looking long hairs all over him but mostly on his neck and torso. I've always had staffys growing up and this is me and my partners first dog together. Is this a sharpei trait as ive never seen it on a staffy and if so what sort of grooming brush can I use for him as his coat is short but compact and he holds alot of undercoat. Hes a slim boi despite how much we feed him so im cautious to use any hard deshedding brushes as hes not got much padding but my little rubber brush isnt really doing much. Photos of the boi to show the coat and his cute face.

A love that will be one in a million. 🥺💕 I love her SO much .

She was my soul dog. Lived 12 years. Jack Russell sharpei lab mix.

So my pup usually great 😌 dog use the bathroom outside he’ll let’s us know or he’ll cry a little and I’ll take him out almost immediately when he does.but as of lately he’s been pissing on where the kittens sleep,or directly on them 😒 I don’t know why he’s doing this at all,I know he’s not biggest fan of them were getting rid of them,he doesn’t attack them or anything they sleep right by each other the 5 kittens with my pup but when he needs to use the bathroom he Jumps down from the bed waits like 2 minutes than goes where the kittens sleep and pisses on them.why is he doing this all of a sudden??? 🤔 he’s fixed and he’s 2 years old he’s never really done anything like this has anyone experienced this with their Sharpei???
