Are Shar-Pei good dogs?

Yes, Chinese Shar-Pei are good dogs, but they have a unique temperament and present potential challenges. Known for their loyalty and devotion to their people, Shar-Pei have a natural instinct to protect their families, making them good watchdogs. They do not have high physical activity requirements: a daily walk and some playtime usually keep them happy and healthy. 

Chinese Shar-Pei have a strong independent streak, which can make training a challenge. They are naturally wary of strangers and need a lot of socialization as puppies. They can also be territorial and might not get along with other dogs or pets.
