Summary
About Shar Pei
The Shar Pei is an ancient Chinese, medium-sized, sturdy dog known for its wrinkles, harsh short coat and curled tail. Calm, loyal and devoted to family, it is reserved with strangers, needs early socialisation, kind consistent training, moderate exercise and careful health management.
About American Foxhound
A friendly, long-legged hunting dog from the USA with an athletic build, a gentle expression, and long, floppy ears. Bred to follow scent trails with great stamina, the American Foxhound combines affection for its family with a strong hunting instinct and an independent streak. It needs plenty of exercise, scent work, and patient training, while its dense coat is easy to care for. Its far-carrying bark and howl also call for consideration for neighbors.
