The Shar Pei is a unique breed of dog known for its deeply wrinkled skin, distinctive 'hippopotamus' face, and loyal, independent personality. Originating from China, the Shar Pei was originally used for hunting and protection. This breed's health can be affected by its wrinkles, so it's important for owners to properly care for them. Other considerations include their exercise needs and grooming habits. If you're considering adopting a Shar Pei, make sure you're prepared for their specific health and care requirements.
