Chinese Shar Peis - Breeders - History of the Breed
Shar-Peis are about 2000 years old. The breed originated in China. Its ancestors were tombdogs and service dogs. Initially, Shar-Peis were meant to hunt and protect the livestock from predators. In case a Shar-Pei didn't meet the needs of a farmer-peasant's household, it was most likely to be killed and eaten. The Shar-Pei's loose "sandpaper" skin could have made them excellent fighting dogs at the time of the Han Dynasty in China (206 BC-220AD). However, Shar-Peis are said to lack the fierceness necessary for a fighting dog.

The Shar-Pei was once known as an extremely expensive dog breed. In 1949, the Communist party in China proclaimed that pets were eating the food that could have been used by starving people. The Shar-Pei was almost extinct. In 1960s, the breed was named the most rare one and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Mr. Matgo Law is known to have broached this problem in 1973. He drew the public's attention to a few Shar-Peis existing in Hong-Kong and Taiwan and asked that the breed not be allowed to disappear. Chinese Shar-Peis went to the United States, Australia and England and more and more litters were registered in these countries. The AKC recognized the breed in 1991. It was the 22nd most popular dog in 1993. The Kennel Club of London recognized the Shar-Pei in 1994 and amended the standards in 1998.
Thanks to responsible breeders and the Shar-Pei breed admirers, Shar-Peis are far from being the most rare dogs nowadays.
