Do Shar-Pei have a bad temperament?
No. Temperament problems are not a Shar-Pei affliction. Any dog, any breed – when bred improperly can have temperament problem. Shar-Pei are intensely loyal to their family and make excellent watch dogs. Like all dogs, however, they should be socialized. Some Shar-Pei are aloof toward strangers. Because Shar-Pei have a quick intelligence and are eager to please their family, they are very easily trained.
