16 Reasons Why You Should Never Own Shar Pei

Published: Dec 24, 2021 by Karen Flores · This post may contain affiliate links

If you are planning to adopt a puppy, get any breed EXCEPT Shar Peis. We think Shar Peis may very well be on the top list of the worst dogs ever.

This creature is a nightmare, they are terrifying, and we want to save you from making a horrific mistake.

To help you understand better, here are 16 reasons why you should never adopt such creatures.

#1 Firstly, Shar Peis are pretty much the criminal ringleaders of the dog world.

#2 They can often be spotted in scary gangs…

#3 They are very bad around children.

#4 Wait, did we mention how completely not cute the puppies are?

#5 They’re just horrible, right?

#6 Also they’re messy. Really messy.

#7 Not to mention awful at helping out with chores…

#8 Did we mention that they’re practically narcoleptic?

#9 Not only will they fail to protect you, but they’ll also actively steal your food!

#10 They’re a huge problem because they steal everything: your socks, your whole heart, etc.

#15 We warn you once again: You should NOT get a Shar-Pei.

#16 Don’t get a Shar-Pei if you want a faithful friend, who will be by your side when you’re sad, and that will make you happy every day of your life.
