The Miniature Shar-Pei is a miniaturized version of the Chinese Shar-Pei, so it shares its origins with this breed. The Chinese Shar-Pei is considered a basal breed which simply means that its origins predate the development of modern breeds that occurred during the 19th century. The Shar-Pei comes from the Guangdong province of China where it was developed to hunt and to fend off wild boar. The Miniature Shar-Pei has been selectively bred down in size - their miniature size is the result of a recessive gene in their DNA. This book includes appearances, information, history, health and care, puppy caring, feeding dogs and more.
