The Chinese Shar-Pei is an ancient breed used for a variety of purposes, mainly guarding property and farm lands, and hunting. After much of the breed was wiped out, breeders brought them back from a small gene pool, and bred them to have even more wrinkles for show standards. Being an ancient guardian breed, they are typically not recommended for first time dog keepers. #Chinese #Shar-Pei #SharPei #ancient #dog #breed #large #purebred
