Taking the time to carefully select your Shar Pei puppy will ensure you have many years of joyful life with your new pet. Find your dog and he will become a true friend of your family.
Instructions
Step 1
Start choosing in advance. Decide why you need a dog. If you plan to win medals at shows with your pet, you need to be guided by clear standards when choosing, prescribing all the mandatory signs that a dog must have. Check them out and contact only nurseries that breed Sharpei. In this case, it is extremely important that the dog has an appropriate pedigree. If you are not interested in performances, then limit your choice by focusing on the health of your future pet, his character and those features of appearance that are important to you personally.
Step 2
Decide with your family who you plan to purchase - a female or a male. There are exceptions to any rule, but in general, Shar Pei girls show more obedience. However, Shar Pei boys are more cheerful.
Step 3
Use the general rules for choosing puppies from a litter as a guide. When meeting, pay attention to the size of the kids, how they behave in the game and in relation to a stranger. Don't buy the largest or smallest puppies, go for a medium sized one. The health of the dog is best evidenced by the condition of its coat: in a sick puppy, it will be dull and matted. Pay attention to the dog's eyes - they also reflect the state of your future pet.
Step 4
See how the puppies behave when you arrive. Cowardly babies, from which an aggressive or downtrodden dog will easily grow, will rush to their mother. You should not take an overly active Shar Pei. Take a closer look at those puppies that do not show fear of man, have curiosity and courage. Take a routine test - drop a small object on the floor. Choose from those who begin to actively research it.
Step 5
Choose a Shar Pei puppy, keeping in mind that a healthy representative of this breed has a well-developed chest, an assembled body and a large head in relation to the body. The front legs are located strictly parallel, and the stance is strong due to the powerful skeleton.
Step 6
Be guided by your intuition - you and your puppy will reach each other towards each other already at the first meeting.
