Shar Pei 1: Its firsts months of life

For connoisseurs of uncommon canines, there's no dog more fascinating than the Chinese Shar-Pei. The wrinkled pups look like they are enfolded in bristly blankets, and the hippo-faced adults are unique in the canine world. Their history matches their singular appearance -- the breed was all but destroyed by the Chinese Communist regime and was saved through the Herculean efforts of a handful of breeders in Hong Kong and some Americans intrigued with the look and character of the breed.
The Shar-Pei is an ancient breed from an ancient land, perhaps related to the smooth-coated Chow Chow and the Tibetan Mastiff. The breed developed in the southern provinces of China as a working companion of farmers and peasants who needed a cattle herder, guardian, and hunting helpmate. His loose skin, nettlesome coat, and small ears protected him in battles, characteristics that unfortunately gained him favor as a fighting dog.
During the Han Dynasty some 2000 years ago, traders opened China to the West and to mastiff-type dogs that outweighed the Shar-Pei and attracted the attention of fight promoters, so the breed's fighting career was cut short. The Shar-Pei returned to his peasant roots to guard hearth and home for several centuries. After World War II, Communism took over in China, and dogs were considered a luxury that took food from the mouths of babes. Taxes on pets thinned their ranks, and by 1950, the breed was in big trouble.
Somewhere along the way, a few breeders in the British colony of Hong Kong acquired a few of these Chinese Fighting Dogs. Matgo Law was one such fancier of the wrinkled dogs, and in 1973 he and fellow breeder C.M. Chung began a campaign to save the breed with a plea for help in Dogs magazine.
Americans responded wholeheartedly and almost too well -- the Shar-Pei became a fad in the early years in the US, with pups selling for thousands of dollars and breedings done without concern for temperament, health, or structure.
A handful of Shar-Pei came to the US prior to Law's effort, but the breed was neither promoted nor developed. Chung and Law received more than 2000 responses to their appeal, and they began to send puppies to selected breeders in this country. Several of these early breeders formed the Chinese Shar-Pei Club of America to form a breed standard and work together to preserve the breed.
The Chinese Shar-Pei gained entrance to the American Kennel Club miscellaneous group in 1988 and became a full-fledged member of the non-sporting group in October, 1991. The breeds numbers have increased substantially from that first cry for help; in 1994, more than 15 thousand individuals and 6600 litters were registered, placing the dog 25th in popularity of 137 breeds.
________________________________________
Appearance
The Shar-Pei is a compact, square, muscular dog with a blocky head that brings a hippopotamus to mind, tiny ears that lie against the head, and a short, curled tail. An adult weighs 40-55 pounds and is 18-20 inches at the withers. He has a deep chest, a top-line that dips slightly behind the withers and rises slightly over the loin. His feet are compact and his pasterns strong and flexible for shock absorption when he moves.
The Shar-Pei gait is strong and balanced, with plenty of rear-end drive and forehand reach.
The Shar-Pei's coarse, bristly coat gives him his name: Shar is a gritty type of sand, and pei is Chinese for dog. The distinctive coat comes in three types -- horse, brush, and bear. The horse coat is very short and harsh; the hair is straight and stands off from the body and can cause an irritating rash in some people. The brush coat is longer than the horse coat, but is just as harsh. The hair should be no longer than one inch at the withers. The dog can increase the nettle effect of this coat by raising his hackles when alert or excited.
The bear coat is too long and can be soft or wavy. Although attractive, this coat is not correct for the breed.
The Shar-Pei's wrinkled skin is a curious trait, most likely fixed in the breed because it protects the dog from injury by human or animal attackers. A mouthful or handful of prickly folds of skin is likely to discourage pit adversary and barbarian alike.
Wrinkles vary from line to line in the breed. Puppies are more wrinkled than adults; when the dog is full-grown, the heavy folds are gathered on the head, neck, and withers. Loose, saggy skin is incorrect for adults.
The Shar-Pei must be solid-colored to show in the breed ring, but piebald (pinto) dogs are sometimes seen. Colors include fawn (from light beige to golden tan); cream, black, red, chocolate, sable (hairs of two colors, one dark, one light), apricot, a dilute shade of red, and silver, a dilute shade known as blue in other breeds. Darker shading is acceptable on light colors.
________________________________________
Temperament
The Shar-Pei is dignified, calm, and confident, aloof with strangers, and a bit arrogant. He can also be a clown with his family.
These characteristics can make the Shar-Pei difficult to train unless he is well-socialized as a pup and taught early that the human word is law in the household. Once convinced of your superiority, the Shar-Pei will accept his place in the order and be a dependable, devoted companion and child's playmate.
Although he is considered a consummate watchdog, the Shar-Pei should never be aggressive to people or other dogs.
This is a people-oriented breed, so when looking for a pup, make sure the breeder gives her dogs plenty of human contact.
________________________________________
Health and care
The wrinkly skin and deep-set eyes give the Shar-Pei some health problems that could discourage prospective owners. The breed is susceptible to entropion and actropion, two malformations of the eyelids. Ectropion causes the lid to turn outward, exposing the eye to irritation and injury. Entropion rolls the eyelid inward, causing irritation from lashes. Untreated, the lashes can cause ulcers on the eye. Both conditions are corrected by surgery.
Various mouth and ear problems also occur in the breed. Tiny ear canals and folded ear flaps limit air circulation in the ear and can lead to infections. Ear odor and shaking the head or pawing at the ear are indications of infection; owners should check ears frequently so that these symptoms don't get started.
Tight lip causes the lower lip to roll over the lower teeth and can lead to an overshot jaw, and an elongated soft palate can cause breathing or eating problems. Both can be corrected by surgery.
Inhalant allergies and fleas can cause dermatitis or skin irritation, which becomes infected as the dog licks, scratches, and bites at his skin. Skin infections or pyodermas are difficult to control in the folds of Shar-Pei skin. Horse-coated dogs are more susceptible to these skin conditions.
Demodectic mange is also a problem in the breed. Although most dogs normally carry a complement of demodex mites, a few breeds appear to be susceptible to severe infestations that cause hair loss and skin sores. Demodex can be difficult to treat as the infestations recur in young dogs with immature immune systems. There is some thought that susceptibility to demodex is inherited as it seems to be connected to compromised immune systems.
When looking for a Shar-Pei puppy, be sure to ask the breeder if she x-rays breeding stock for hip dysplasia, for it, too, is a problem for the breed.

The first days it spent with you will mark the puppy forever. Therefore, make sure you give all your love and attention. At first, the animal will be a little restless, so it is best to take home when not too crowded. Let them explore their environment but do not leave him alone for long. In its first week, may have a sense of nostalgia because of separation from his mother and whine constantly. If this is the case comfort them, but do not let him into your bed is a bad habit that later will be difficult to remove.

Building a home
The puppy will need a basket or a dog bed in a warm, draft-free. One option is to put a cardboard box in a corner to make an enclosed bed. Add a base material that is warm and washable, as a blanket or old towels, so the dog will have a welcoming place. Respect the privacy and space of the can. Stay away from him and not take it no more, let him come by himself. Do not let children bother you or make fun of him and, above all, never send to your shopping when you misbehaved, because in this way associate this place with bad behaviour and subsequent punishment.

Essential items for your puppy

* A bowl of water and other food.
* A nutritious food for your specific life stage.

* A basket or bed.

* Brush and comb.

* ID card (or chip).

* Collar and leash.

* Shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste for dogs.

* Quality and safe toys to chew to facilitate teething.

Take your puppy
Try to resist the temptation to take the puppy constantly because its little body is very delicate. When you do, follow these steps:

* Place one hand on its back and one under the breast.

* Pick it up with both hands.

* Keep close to your body to feel safe.

Training Home
Start training your puppy at home since the beginning. Establish a regular feeding routine and often take it out for a walk to make their needs, especially when you wake up. If you see it walk in circles and whining by the door, are sure signs that you need to go outside quickly.

When you have done your needs, be sure to praise it. Of course, accidents can occur, but when it does not raise your voice, nor is it desirable that you hit him or rub its nose in their droppings. It is too young to relate the reprimands and excrement, and simply feel fear and confusion. When finished, take it out and praise it out quickly .

Brushing and bathing
Regular brushing is essential for young dogs, since it not only removes dead hair, dirt and parasites, but also stimulates the blood supply to the skin with a healthy-looking hair and bright. Make brushing becomes a pleasant experience and quickly learns to sit still or sit quietly, something that will also help when you visit the vet. Use special equipment for brushing the dog, not your old brush without spikes. In your pet store can advise you on which best suits your dog, depending on their breed.

As for the bathroom, do it only when needed. Too much washing can remove essential oils from the skin, making it more matte and less impermeable to water. To bathe, use the bathtub or the battery, some warm water and a quality shampoo. Rub your scalp as you pour water on him. Take the shampoo and rinse it gently. Then, wash the head, trying not to get water in the eyes and ears. Rinse it well and rub briskly with a towel. Weather permitting, you can leave out to dry by itself, otherwise, dry coat in a warm place. Always make sure your dog is completely dry, otherwise it will cool.

Teething and chewing
To help out all his teeth and stop biting the furniture, your puppy will need some indestructible object such as a rubber bone or a ball to chew. Make sure these products are sized to not to swallow. Avoid real bones as they can splinter and choke. Play with your dog and its bite: give it as an object starts to bite 'no' firmly saying 'No'. Remember to congratulate you when you chew your own toy.

To control tartar and plaque, it is advisable to nourish it with a dry food because it will help loosen the baby teeth and speed up the teething process. If your puppy's mouth is very sensitive, first dipping food softened in water. It is important that dry food is complete and balanced; you do not need extra supplements and does not carry any flavour enhancer.

Do not forget that dry food may seem, at first sight more expensive. When you calculate the cost per day, you'll see that in fact, is very economical. If your dog shows a persistent lack of appetite during teething, consult your veterinarian before changing food.

Healthcare
Proper care should begin immediately and continue throughout the life of the animal. Like diet and exercise, caring for the puppy will involve inspections and regular visits to the specialist.

Puppies are susceptible to any contagious disease, so it is advisable to make an early visit to your veterinarian. The first vaccine is administered as 6-8 weeks. For complete protection, you must return it to the vet to give him injections.

Usually the dog needs to be treated and do it yourself periodic inspections. Check out her eyes, ears, mouth, feet, nails, skin and coat. Do not hesitate to consult your veterinarian if you notice anything unusual.

Diet and exercise
Diet and exercise are vital to the wellbeing of your puppy. Being very playful and energetic, make sure you doing the proper exercises. The exact amount of exercise will vary, of course, by race and is the vet or the breeder who should advise on the subject. It is also responsible for giving the dog the nutrition they need from the beginning. As these issues are so important, are discussed in a later section of this manual.

How to detect diseases
Often, you may think your dog is not feeling well and a quick visit to the vet will help you confirm that something is not working properly. You will find the following signs of possible disease:

* Loss of appetite and rejection of water.

* Loss or sudden weight gain, prolonged gradual decline in weight.

* Slow or refusal to play or exercise.

* Micturition too frequent or scarce.

* Bloody or soft, formless, diarrhoea.

* Persistent vomiting.

* Excessive salivation or irregular breathing.

* Hair dull.

Basic Training
Nobody likes a disobedient dog and uncontrolled, so the sooner you start your workout, the better. Many professional trainers recommend an obedience class early to facilitate the process. One of the first things you must teach your puppy is to recognize his name. Use it as often as you can to get their attention: when I congratulate you and when you feed. Soon learn to respond to your name when you call. Repetition is important when training puppies. And remember to be patient.

Here are some tips for training:
* Follow a pattern of two training sessions each day, 5 minutes.

* To avoid confusion, use the same tone and words to certain orders. Get serious, so your puppy learns to be taken serious training.

* If you lose your patience, your puppy will perceive and training will be more difficult. Try to stay calm.

* Never hit your puppy or you raise your voice. Use the same praise where appropriate and a firm 'No' when you should correct him.

* Complete training sessions with a cheerful comment.

Your puppy accustomed to wear a soft collar from the beginning. After a while, add a short leash and light and let it wash over without pulling it for a few days. The goal to walk with you without pulling. If you run, or delayed, a gentle tug is all you need to do. Stay close to him to not feel like letting go.

Travel with your puppy
Life can be very complicated if your dog accustomed to travel by car. First, get him used to make small trips for 5-10 minutes every other day, and gradually increase the duration of the trips until you feel comfortable. Make a journey of about two hours. Whatever the duration, you will find these tips helpful.

* Take another passenger to take care of the dog in the first trips.

* Do not give to eat within 2-3 hours before departure.

* Take him out for a walk before leaving.

* Bring your favourite box, blanket and toys, to make you feel at home.

* Keep your car well ventilated, but do not let it peek out the window.

* Stop your vehicle every one or two hours before exercise, drink and be relieved.

* Reward your puppy at the end of the journey for your patience.

Feeding your puppy
Your puppy will burn an amazing amount of energy during the first months of life, so it is important to ensure that you get a more balanced diet. Think your dog will grow both in its first year as a child in the first 14 years. Each race has a growth rate, so the nutrition you choose should suit the species and size. Choose the best diet is the key that will allow you to lead a long and healthy life; it would be a good idea to discuss diet with your veterinarian, your breeder or pet store. .
