OzelleLily-Shar-Pei's Interests
Hobby/Show/Breeding Only Chinese Shar-Pei:
Any puppy that leaves us after 8 weeks of age will have had been dewormed,vaccinated and socialized before arriving to its new home.


Before You Decide To Bring a Shar-Pei Into Your Life and Home:
Please do your Homework and make sure this is the right breed of dog for you.I would suggest having a shar-pei experienced veterinarian in mind before even getting a Pei. Eye Tacking for a Shar-Pei can come up at any age. Early or late in life, It will not break your bank if you deal with a trustworthy vet. Tacking is an easy procedure that requires a stitch or two in each eye that helps with the lifting of a lid. Cost for tacking can ranch from $30-$100 dollars an eye depending on the location and cost of particular Vet and their procedures.

Puppy will be Guarantee
until there age of one year against any gentic defects and will be replaced with a different puppy (of same quality) from different lines.

  * AIRLINE INFORMATION *
Airline Temperature Restrictions
Temperature Restrictions For Pets In Cargo

Temperature Restrictions have been established by some airlines to ensure animals are not exposed to extreme heat or cold in the animal holding areas, terminal facilities, when moving the animals between terminal and aircraft or on an aircraft awaiting departure.

Heat Restriction: Pets will not be accepted by some airlines when the current or forecasted temperature at the arrival or departure airport is above 84F (29C) at either location on the itinerary (75 degrees for snub-nosed dogs and snub-nosed cats).

The Airline Summer Heat Embargo

During the summer months, May through September your airline may not allow you to transport your pet in the cargo department. Some airlines seem to take the position that they will not accept any pets in cargo during these months while others take a more flexible approach.

Continental does not have this restriction except for a few airports where it is very hot in the summer such as Phoenix.

Choose a flight that leaves after dark and arrives early in the morning before the runway begins to heat up. If you talk with the airline they will likely take your pet in cargo on such a flight although "technically" their embargo is in effect. Try more than one airline - some are more flexible with the rule than are others. Or use a different departure or arrival city where the weather may be cooler. You might have to drive 100 miles or more on departure or arrival to reach the airport but this can be a solution.


Cold Restriction: Pets cannot be accepted when the ground temperature is below 45 degrees Fahrenheit

   
The Chinese Shar-Pei is regal, alert, intelligent, and dignified. He may appear independent, snobbish, and standoffish with strangers. But he is extremely devoted to his family. In fact, he has been described as a ''people dog,'' preferring the companionship of humans to that of other dogs. An alert, compact dog of medium size and substance; square in profile, close coupled; the well-proportioned head slightly, but not overly large for the body. The short, harsh coat, the loose skin covering the head and body, the small ears, the ''hippopotamus'' muzzle shape and the high set tail impart to the Shar-Pei a unique look peculiar to him alone. The loose skin and wrinkles covering the head, neck and body are superabundant in puppies, but these features may be limited to the head, neck and withers in the adult.

  * A WRINKLE IN TIME *
Archeologists in China have discovered paintings and statuettes of dogs bearing remarkable resemblance to the modern Shar-Pei, including the unique blunt muzzle and other distinctive facial characteristics, dating to China’s Han Dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D. 220).

The origin of such an ancient dog is difficult to trace. The blue-black tongue and other characteristics of the Chinese shar-pei point to the chow-chow as either an ancestor or a distant relative. Some experts believe both dogs may be descended from the Tibetan mastiff, which is often recognized as one of the most ancient dog breeds.

One early British author studying dogs in the Orient described the native dogs she found in China as being mixed with mastiff, chow, bulldog and common street dogs. Although the shar-pei already existed as a distinct breed by the time this comment was made, it’s as good an explanation as exists for the dog’s origin. A bulldog ancestry is seen in some short necks that are low-set on the shoulders, thick bodies and certain shared genetic problems.

Whatever its origin, the shar-pei was a common fixture on Chinese farms for hundreds of years. Dogs were a practical part of Chinese peasant life: Those not smart enough to perform their duties were used for food and clothing. Shar-pei were bred for intelligence, strength and an intimidating scowl, which was thought to give a menacing appearance that helped deter bandits and thieves. The shar-pei also served spiritual guard duty — its blue-black tongue was thought to ward off evil spirits.

In central China, where farming and herding were predominant, the shar-pei developed a herding instinct and an almost terrier-type ratting instinct. The legs of the shar-pei in central China were shorter than their relatives to the south, while their coats were not as thick as the shar-pei of northern China. The shar-pei still exhibits these herding and ratting instincts. Interestingly, the shar-pei does not bark like western herding dogs, nor does it dig and chew like terriers, raising the possibility that these characteristics are present in terriers and herding dogs not because they are necessary, but because many of the dogs in those American Kennel Club (AKC) groups came from the same European root stock, while the shar-pei has its root stock on the other side of the world.

In northern China, where small communities live through the long, cold winters in remote villages, the shar-pei was prized for its calmness and quiet demeanor — crucial characteristics for an animal that spends long hours in the same small space as its family.

In southern China — a region with a cultural love of wagering — the shar-pei was used as a fighting dog. As a result, breeders developed the dog’s bristly coat and loose skin to improve the breed’s fighting ability — opponents found the prickly coat painful to bite while the loose skin made it possible for a shar-pei under attack to turn and defend itself more easily. Also advantageous were the dog’s tiny ears and deep-set eyes, which were less vulnerable to attack. The shar-pei lacked the size and aggressiveness to fight larger mastiffs and bulldogs — eventually their careers as fighters ended.
