Lightgoddess's Response to rich1990's Review
Written on: 31/08/2013
The breed history in this review is incorrect. These were not the dogs of royalty or the upper classes. The Shar Pei was the dog of the commoners....primarily farmers in Southern China. An all around dog that was used for guarding (against both predators and intruders), hunting, etc. During a few decades in the 1900s they were used some for dog fighting in China but were not ideal for this purpose. Recent research and genetic studies have identified this as the breed genetically closest to Canis Lupus (the Gray Wolf) with the Shiba Inu second closest genetically.
