What is the life expectancy of sharpei dogs?
The general life expectancy of a Sharpei is 9 – 10 years, though if well cared for one can live for up to 15. A lot of it depends of how well cared for the dog is as well as what it eats. The sharpei is a high energy level dog and needs regular exercise to keep healthy. With this particular breed grooming is also important. Though this is a fairly clean breed, it is important to check the wrinkles around the neck and face for burrs or signs of infection; grooming typically entails a weekly brushing and wrinkle inspection.
