Are sharpei's fighting dogs?
Shar-peis are not considered amongst the most intelligent dogs (please see below in Related Links for more information). However, they are not unintelligent, and the margin between the ends of the spectrum is not wide. Shar-peis are one of the 14 ancient breeds. Through breeding for protection, hunting, and fighting, Shar-peis have a very distinct personality, and are typically considered amongst the most difficult to train. They very often exhibit stubbornness, aloofness, and autonomous behavior - though they are very loving and highly protective of their perceived "pack" (that is, the person or persons who care for them). They are often cited as "one-owner-dogs", which means that even with only a couple raising them, they will still show strong preference for only one of the two caretakers. If you are considering adopting or buying a Shar-pei, please be aware, these are widely regarded as very difficult dogs to raise, and are very strongly discouraged to first-time or novice dog owners/trainers.
