Over time with careful and selective breeding these issues have been successfully bred out of the Shar Pei with breeders producing dogs with longer legs not so many folds in their skin and much healthier eyelids.

These extraordinary dogs have been around for centuries having first been developed by crossing Nordic dogs with Mastiff-type breeds. They boast a blue tongue which is one of the distinguishing physical traits of the Chow Chow and as such it is thought they too might well have been used to create the Shar Pei.

Fortunately and through the concerted efforts of American breeders the Shar Pei was saved from extinction with the first dog arriving on British shores in 1981 with female Shar Peis following close behind a year later and they came directly from the Hong Kong breeder Matgo Law. Around 4 years later breed numbers had risen to about 350 dogs which were all registered with the Kennel Club. Their numbers steadily rose over the following years with Shar Peis being exported to other countries which included New Zealand Australia South Africa Italy Russia and Cyprus to name but a few.

The Dachshund can trace its origins hundreds of years ago to Germany. Some sources place the origin of the breed as far as the 15th century, but a more likelier number is late 17th to early 18th century, when first concrete mentions of a dachshund-like breed can be found. Books from that era describe certain dogs named “Dachs Kriecher” (meaning “badger crawler”) or “Dachs Krieger” (“badger warrior”), and it is largely believed that this is when the Dachshund breed was actually developed as such- the previous mentions were more general and referred to all types of dogs fulfilling the role of badger hunting rather than a specific breed. The Miniature Shar-Pei is an alert and active breed that can be playful at times.

Shar Pei puppies are incredibly cute and it is all too easy to spoil them but the first few weeks after their arrival are important because it's the time to set ground rules boundaries and limits so a puppy understands what is expected of them.

All puppies like to gnaw on things and this includes electric wires and cables which is why it's important for them to be put well out of a puppy's reach.

The Miniature Shar-Pei is a miniaturized version of the Chinese Shar-Pei, so it shares its origins with this breed. The Chinese Shar-Pei is considered a basal breed which simply means that its origins predate the development of modern breeds that occurred during the 19th century. The Shar-Pei comes from the Guangdong province of China where it was developed to hunt and to fend off wild boar.
