Description
Dog Breed: Shar Pei / Labrador Retriever (short coat). Coco Coco is a beautiful 50 lb black lab Shar Pei mix who is approximately six and a half years young. She was picked up as a stray and struggled in the shelter. Their vet determined she had one bad tooth but otherwise seemed healthy. We committed to her and paid for her complete dental extractions and cleaning….while under anesthesia, we requested a full exam and spay if necessary. Thankfully she was spayed but she did require 5 extractions! After her vaccinations, microchip and sparkling teeth, we picked her up. Coco is a fantastic passenger in the car. She has her basic obedience down pat, and she walks like a dream on the leash. She is a wonder girl looking for a home where someone will play fetch, enjoy snuggles and talk to her. Coco is just getting the hang of her new routine and is whiny when one of her people leave. There’s been a world window changes for her in a short time, so we’ll up date her profile as we learn more about this incredibly lovely girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We only respond to serious inquiries.

Chinese Shar-Pei
A.K.A.: Wrinkled Dog, Chinese Fighting Dog, Dah-Lot, Meat-Mouth Dog, Hippopotamus Dog, Shar-Pei, Shar Pei, Shar-Pei Dog
Overview:
The Chinese Shar-Pei is an ancient and distinctive breed, originating in southern China where they were historically used as farm dogs, hunters, and guardians. Their most striking physical characteristic is their loose, wrinkled skin, particularly prominent in puppies, and their unique "hippopotamus" muzzle. They are a medium-sized dog with a short, rough coat that comes in a variety of solid colors. Temperament-wise, Shar-Peis are often described as independent, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. Early socialization is crucial to foster their confident and calm nature. While generally good with children in their own family, their independent streak means they thrive in homes that understand and respect their unique personality. Their relatively low exercise needs and adaptable nature make them suitable for apartment living, provided they receive regular walks and mental stimulation. Owners should be aware of potential health considerations, including skin fold infections, entropion (an eyelid condition), and certain allergies, requiring attentive care and regular veterinary check-ups.
