What Shar Peis are like to live with

The Shar Pei is a Chinese breed known for its loose, wrinkled skin and bristly coat. The Royal Kennel Club says the name translates as "harsh sandy coat" or "sand paper skin", that the breed probably shares some ancestry with the Chow Chow, and that it was developed as a hunter and a fighting dog. It says the breed was almost wiped out in the 20th century before a revival.
