i'd love a boxer though. the old blood line of my grandparents still goes on today. not exactly pedigree but papers and lineage for donkeys years. competed at crufts. think my lass would have a fit if i cut the tail off the pup though.
got a shitzu me sen,great little dogs.

Me and the missus both want a blue Shar Pei but I've told her she can't have one until she can keep house properly (she's a lazy cow) and that's not likely, I've been with her coming on 7 years.

my brother has a sharpei and he loves it but he regrets getting the breed as they are super smelly lol,trust me even after a bath he will smell after a day or 2,also they are prone to ear and skin problems and they are not like any other dogs be prepared to pay a lot of money in vet bills with them,i used to breed staffs but I switched to American bulldogs and they are the best breed in my eyes in terms of loyalty and intelligence,i took one of my bitches out the other night and a bloke with a hoody tried to say hello to her and she went in guard mode and growled and barked at him,i think it was because the hood was up but they are very good guard dogs,but are gentle giants with the family and love kids even more so.look more into sharpie's m8 I loved them before my bro got one and im glad ive seen how they are(and ive been to the breeders house a few times aswell) :)

It must just be your kids dog mate. I've a pal who breeds them (well...his mum does) and they're the most highly strung, uppity and prissy dogs I've come across.
Twat's wont even walk on grass as they don't like getting their feet mucky, lol.

The skin condition's thing with Shar Pei's is a misconception, it's down to the dog not tolerating a given diet not genetics.
If you feed them right and wash them with the right soaps they're fine, granted they do take a lot more looking after than most breeds though.

If a breeder says otherwise they're not worth they're salt and I wouldn't buy a pup from them.

I don't breed sharp pei's but im friendly with a sharp pei breeder but I would tell anyone not to buy one as they are so overbread that there are so many problems,also it takes alot of work to get the most out of a sharp pei you will have to bath at least once a week get special shampoo for there fur depending on what type of shar pei you get(horse hair,brush coat,bear coat etc.)also there ears need cleanin all the time with is not recommended for people with weak stomachs,id recommend an althletic easy to maintain breed I breed American bulldogs(Johnson type) but the standard or scott type are lovely dogs also,dog de Bordeaux are one of my favourite breeds,i used to think staff were big until I got my am bulldogs lol,i have a hybrid bitch which is johnsonXstandard and she is over 8stone at 9months old she has one blue eye one brown,i love dogs and will always have American bulldags now as they are so funny and also can turn to guard when needed,they are excellent with all kids wont move a muscle even if the kid antagonise them(my son thinks he's karate kid and forever annoying the dogs lol)but I have never heard them wimper or yelp even when they got there chip inserted,they have a very high pain threshold which can be bad in ways as you never know if they are ill or in pain.DSCF0138 (2).jpgthis is my hybrid at 6months she will be a stunner :)

never a dull moment i can assure you, the one with white paws is a fkn delinquent, PROPER! so funny most of the time but not when he's done a runner and your still up at 3am trying to stop the twat barking at the bushes out the back and triggering every other dog in the street to join him too. He is exactly like his namesake, the leader of the Gremlins, Spike! as i'm typing this he's laying upside down in the empty laundry basket... laugh a minute

your right they are very clean dogs and have a totally different temperament to any breed ive seen,they produce an oil that is different to any other dog and it stinks lol,you'll find out if you get one :)
