I bought this book after getting our first shar pei and now three years later after getting our second I still find myself going to the book as a reference. I would recommend new owners buy the book prior to finding a breeder and making a purchase because it gives really good advice on what to look for and even whether or not the breed is right for you. The book takes you through step by step everything you need to know the breed from health, care, temperament, etc. I highly recommend this book.
The best I've read to date

The book was very informative. The pictures were clear and in color, which actually showed and told you what you were looking at. Out of 3 books I've bought on Shar-pei, this one was not a waste of my money.

This book was absolutely wonderful. Ms. Kleinhans has truly done a great job at getting across not only her excellent information but her obvious personal knowledge of the breed and her love for it as well. From the first pages you know that she knows these dogs and has had a great deal of personal experience with them. She is not just a writer doing a job and trying her best. She writes with a love and passion for the breed that comes through with each turn of the page. The photo's were also excellent and truly illustrated the points being made. If I could give it 10 stars I would. In fact, in my own mind I have already done so. My highest rating.
