With its unique looks, quiet charm and gentle touch, the Chinese Shar-Peis is a popular at-home companion to many pet parents. Once relied upon for protection and keeping its people alert, these guard dogs never bark without reason. It’s only in situations that the cute canine feels overwhelmed by its feelings that you might hear a bark, or louder than usual noise, which makes this rumpled breed a perfect pet for love and peace at home. Intelligent, playful, active, dominant and brave may seem like tough traits but a Chinese Shar-Peis is not at all unfriendly to strangers.
