Breed overview
Overview:
The Lab Pei is a fascinating hybrid breed, blending the distinct traits of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Labrador Retriever. Originating from designer breed programs, these dogs were developed to combine the Shar-Pei's unique appearance with the Labrador's renowned temperament. Physically, Lab Peis are typically medium-to-large, inheriting a range of features; some may exhibit the Shar-Pei's characteristic wrinkles and a broader muzzle, while others lean more towards the Lab's sleek coat and expressive eyes. Their coat can vary in texture and color, often short to medium in length. Temperamentally, they are generally intelligent, loyal, and affectionate, though early socialization and training are crucial due to potential Shar-Pei stubbornness. They are often good with families that can provide consistent interaction and exercise, but their energy levels can make them less suitable for small apartment living without ample outdoor activity. Health-wise, they may be prone to conditions affecting both parent breeds, including hip and elbow dysplasia, certain skin issues, and eye problems like entropion, making regular veterinary check-ups essential.
