Once noted as the rarest breed in the world, the Chinese Shar Pei has evolved into a demanded breed since it almost reached extinction in the late 1960's. Its oversized wrinkled coat is one of the breeds trademarks and is rough and coarse. The Shar-Pei makes a great family pet, is loyal to its owners and is a natural guard dog.
