Shar-Pei has existed for two thousand years. With the origin, it was employed in imperial China for hunting for wild boar. Besides one finds it reproduced on bronze statues going back to 206 front. J.C. This powerful and compact dog was used in China in turn as gun dog, guard of herds and like guard of the household.  The pup was to show intelligence in the tasks assigned under penalty of being cut down. Then, one not very glorious period for the man will follow since it will use it  for combat of dogs. In 1947, the race failed to disappear forever since at that time China issued that the dogs were to be used as food..... It only with is not impassioned that Shar-Pei owes its survival and in particular to a young Chinese student who decided to make known this race in the United States. At that time one hardly counts but one dozen subjects what explains why when  at the end of the Seventies, forty-five Shar-Pei existing in the world are regarded as one of the races of dogs rarest. With regard to its diffusion in France, Shar-Pei makes its first entry with the Living room of Agriculture in  Paris in 1983.  Its final affiliation by the SCC (Canine Central Company) is dated from the 1er April 1988.
