Well as you may have seen in my post here, my wife and kids conspired against me to go "look" at Chinese Shar-Pei puppies this weekend.

Well, we looked.....

And now I have a new family member...... Get a load of this little guy.

    Shar-Peis grow and fill out and the wrinkles partly vaporize, though never fully.Excercise your Shar Pei more than average and feed well for less wrinkles sooner if you want that. High-protein diet more than high carbo diet, they normally carry some fat and in a colder climate need it for insulation. Cliff's Notes for Shar Peis.... :D

    At least it is not bright pinky-red also like a very newborn human-- who is also typically very wrinkled as skin develops fastest. nature allows for fillin, Shar Peis will carry more fill by nature.

    Excpect a HUNGRY puppy.

    John.

    Me and my new buddy.

    He's a very very personable dog. He won't leave a person's side. he also loves our cat. The cat and he are pals already. They slept together last night :eek:

    Yoinks, he's got some size on him already - I didn't see you say how old it is - ?? I'm definitely no expert, but to my unpracticed eye he looks to be pretty close to full-sized-mature..?

    How are Shar-Peis for hair/shedding? I'm guessing not bad, given the length of the coat.

    Shar-Peis do not shed at all. Their hair is wiry and very short. In fact the name roughly translates to sandpaper-skin.

    He's only 13 weeks old, although he's not going to get much bigger than this. Big male Shar-Peis get around 50-60 lbs at the top end. I met his father and he wasn't huge. Maybe 4 inches taller than him.

    If your dog is anything like mine (a yellow Lab) was, it'll go though an "awkward stage". Pretty funny times.

    When she first learned to run, rather than "hopping quickly", she started to jump around on furniture to test out her new skills (and our tolerance). One of the things she did was jump up on a couch (which she is not allowed) and attempt to cross over to the end table, which was covered in newspapers. As she crossed between the table and the couch (front paws on the table, back on the couch) the newspapers slid out from under her, causing her to become 'stuck', straddled between the table and couch. She wined and cried till I went over and picked her up, and onto the floor. She NEVER attempted that again!

    When she was a month or two younger, she was testing my family's and my tolerance to let her become the "Big dog" of the house. I remember sitting down at the kitchen table with a cheeseburger. I reached over (still sitting in the chair) to grab a newspaper to look read while I ate. In a yellow flash, she jumped up onto my chair, grabbed the whole burger, jumped down and ran behind an armchair in an adjacent room to consume her 'prey'. My family and I thought it was hilarious, after I went over to take back what she hadn’t already ate, I realized I had to be more careful with my food until she was taught what’s "hers" (on the floor) and ours (not on the floor).

    How olds’ the pup, Brian? Looks to be around... 11 weeks or so?

    EDIT: Ehh, 13. Close enough... ;)

    Well he's already taking lessons from the cat. The cat of course enjoys nothing more than batting the dog across the muzzle at every given opportunity. Well my kids had a toy train last night that was scooting around a track and the dog was barking at it, and finally decided to swat it off the track, cat-style. Now he's using his paw to swat things, since the cat is apparently going to be his surrogate father, he's learning from him how to "hunt" :rolleyes:

    Man, that is a big dog to be 13 weeks old. Pretty cute pup though, I guess the wrinkles make the dog.

    Look like a badly stuffed toy. Can't you take it back and ask for a full one?

    The fun part is when he starts crapping all over the floor till he learns where he's supposed to go. I have 4 and one is currently at that stage ;)

    Took only 1 or 2 weeks for mine to be fully housebroken. Was kind of a pain though...

    What a coincidence! I just got a new puppy a few days ago, maybe about a week now. Its an australian cattle dog/blue heeler mixed with some other things. Looks very similar to a black lab. Hopefully she'll stop ****ting in my room soon..

    Well mine may be housebroken, but that didn't prevent him from eating his own **** today and walking into the house as if nothing was wrong, with a big brown ****stain smeared all over his chest and jowls... Talk about disgusting. I almost puked from the smell. What a day.

    The worst is when your dog goes s**t outside and runs through it without you knowing. Then when he comes inside, he leaves s**t paw prints all along the floor. :)

    Heh, mine did that. I hear it's considered a delicacy to nearly all dogs. Think of it as eating German chocolate. ;)

    They key is, yell at them and act upset whenever they even THINK about eating sh*t, like when they turn around to give it a sniff.

    I hate dogs, sorry but this just confirms what I thought, horrible things.
