After 4 litters, I have decided to give one of these books to each of our new owners. It is a down to earth, easy read. Anyone who reads this book should feel comfortable with the contents. They will come to know that the Shar-pei is one of the best breeds around. That is why I breed them and would recommend this book to all.

I am brand new to the breed Shar Pei's and recently bought 2 puppies for my husband for Christmas (now 3 1/2 months old). I knew that the breed was an excellent temperment for families and small children (they met my niece who is 1 1/2 yrs old and they ignored her for the most part, but played well with her, and she liked them).

I wanted a book that would tell me about the breed, possible health problems that they may have, and general living and training tips. This book absolutley fit the bill. It's the square deal.

First off, the author recognizes that this breed does have health issues, and lists those off. For a new owner, or possible owner, this lets you know what happens SPECIFIC to the Shar Pei. I have read other Shar Pei books and found them to be very general to dogs, and not just to Shar Peis.

Surfing the net, it seems hard to find specific information that you want to know before going to the vet. We live in a rural area, so our vet has not dealt with many Shar Pei's, so as the owner, I want to be as knowlegeable as possible when discussing possible problems. I found this book to help out with learning those aspects.

Overall, I fully recommend you to buy this book. Buy this book if you are considering buying a Shar Pei, and it will let you know what you are getting into.

This book tell you everything you want to know about the sharpei,even how to train and educate your dog,everything about health, behavior, etc... You won't need any other book.

I have previously owned a shar pei before, but when my husband and I started planning on getting a new puppy I thought I would find a good book on shar pei. I bought three books originally but came to find that I like this one the best. Its simple and not very big, but is filled with lots of information. Info ranges from caring for you puppy or adult dog, health concerns, nutrition, obedience training and information about the shar pei breed. I would reccommend this book to anyone who has or is getting a shar pei.

Hi I thought this book was exellent it told me how to train my new shar-pei and what to expect in its behavior this REALLY helped this book is a must fot shar-pei owners

I am presently on my third Shar Pei. The first, ( Bear) lived to 13 1/2 and had to be put down due to Cancer and failing eyesight. I lost the second one ( Andy ) on Feb. 23 of this year due to complications related to Shar Pei Fever. He would have been 8 one the 8th of June. I now have a new addition ( Cocomo) who was born on May 1st of this year. This was one of the first books I got on the subject and it is a good one. As you can probably tell, I am hooked on Shar Pei's as they make excellent companions. I never had any problems with house breaking the first two, although "Mo" has been a bit more of a problem, although not bad (just a couple of accidents when I wasn't paying attention to him, as he would let you know by going to the door). The breed is intelligent and the book is very helpful in helping with your understanding.

I bought this book because I also purchased a willful little Shar Pei and wasn't sure of his personality. Although it was very informative, all the information was such I could find on any AKC or CKC website. I was hopping to purchase a Shar Pei book that was written by someone who knew the temperament very well and was familiar with quirks of the breed. The book was well written and provided thoughtful tips and advice.. but things that would apply to any dog.

I am trying to be cute with my title. Maybe it didn't work. But what did work for me was how informative and all-around helpful this book was for me. A former Shar-pei "co-habitant" (at a home I lived at in the 90's), I had a birds-eye view of this breed, but couldn't quite remember all the details of what to expect. This cleared it all up for me. I recommend this book for people who are trying to learn about these wonderful dogs.

This book gave us a great overview about the Shar Pei breed and discussed all the conditions we need to be aware of if we become a Shar Pei owner. I was most concerned about the eye and skin conditions. The author gives details about both and how to avoid problems. I have been talking to several breeders and our puppy may be born in the next several weeks. My only criticism is that the photos appeared to be of the same puppies and dogs over and over. I would hve liked photos of additional Shar Pei!
