Dogs are dogs!!! Just because Shar-pei are adorable and cuddly, they cannot reject their natural canine heritage. Often times people make the mistake of humanizing their pets, applying human rationale and logic to our canine friends. They forget to respect nature for what it is and to accept the limits of their pets capabilities. Since we love our breed dearly, we are saddened by the number of Shar-pei that are put to sleep each year because of unfortunate situations - including fearful and territorial aggression. It is most essential any new owners understand the essence of pack leadership and do not allow their pet to run their household, or they may risk injury to themselves, their family, or someone in their community. Learn BEFORE you become part of the problem.

Bite Prevention Tips: - Do not allow children to play with any dog unsupervised. - Do not disturb a dog who is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies. - Avoid direct contact with any unknown dog. Here are some common reasons why any dog breed may bite: 1) Dominance aggression: aggressive behavior usually directed to family members who take something from the dog, pet it, hold it, pick it up, or disturb it while it is resting. 2) Defensive or fear aggression: directed to family or strangers who approach too quickly or too closely when the dog is afraid. 3) Protective/territorial aggression: directed to strangers to approach the owner or the home of the owner. 4) Predatory aggression: directed to small, quickly moving animals and children, especially where more than one dog is involved. 5) Pain-elicited aggression: directed to family or strangers who approach or touch when the dog is in pain or injured. 6) Punishment-elicited aggression: directed to family or strangers who hit, kick or verbally assault the dog. 7) Redirected aggression: directed to family, strangers and animals who approach or touch theog when it is aggressive in another context |
