Shar-Pei Personality

    Hoping to bring a pet dog into your home? Some dog breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for beginner dog parents.

    To identify the easiest pet dog breeds to own, we took a look at an assortment of essential characteristics. And you might be shocked by the traits that matter most. For instance, you might think you want a clever dog. But highly smart dogs aren't always the simplest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to follow instructions than his ability to understand them.

    You might expect an energetic dog will be the simplest to keep healthy. A dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will really be simpler to deal with. Plus, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is amongst the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life personality and a merry nature that make him a joyful and warm buddy.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "happy," "plucky," and "passionate." This dog has a medium energy level but a more laid-back character than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow dog, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can effectively train your bulldog - especially if you use lots of praise and rewards and maintain a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's personality - as long as they get a satisfying walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very active. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll treasure the breed's sheer patience with children.

Shar-Pei Dog Traits

Shar-Pei Information

The Shar-Pei is compact and square, with a head slightly large for its body. Its signature wrinkles enabled it to twist away when grabbed by a dog when in a fight. Its stiff bristly coat further afforded protection against bites. The coat can be of either brush (not to exceed 1 inch) or horse (very short) types, both should be extremely harsh, straight and stand off the body. The small, close ears and small, sunken eyes afford further protection. The gait is free, with good reach and drive. The wide, powerful jaws, scowling expression and hippopotamus muzzle create a look unique to the breed.

The Shar-Pei is self-assured, serious, independent, stubborn and very much self-possessed. Although not particularly demonstrative, it is devoted and very protective of its family. It is reserved, even suspicious, toward strangers. It can be aggressive toward other dogs and may chase livestock and other animals, although it is generally good with other family pets. The Shar-Pei needs daily mental and physical stimulation, but its needs can be met with lively games throughout the day or a good long walk. It is not generally amenable to exclusive outdoor living, but it can divide its time between house and yard. The coat needs only weekly brushing, but wrinkles need regular attention to ensure that no irritations develop within the skin folds.
