Must admit this is the first one ive seen, what a handsome fella. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...anks-abundant-fur-stealing-rescue-centre.html
I thought I was going to see a dog in one of those lion wigs! I wonder, does he still have skin folds? Keeping them clean must be a labour of love.
A beautiful dog! There aren't many Bear Coat Shar-Pei around! Most Pei are Brush Coats like Georgina. A Shar-Pei's closest relation is the Chow and it's believed by many that the gene which produces the Bear Coat is a throw back to them. Pei "grow" into their skin, so that by the time they're adult normally the only skin folds would be on the head and face. A Bear Coat shouldn't be any more difficult to groom or keep clean than any other long haired breed.
I think that Pei was gorgeous. But I would like to do nasties to the idiots who said such nasty things after that article.
