Health Concern : Fevers of unknown origin or swollen hocks syndrome may be the early stages of amolydosis (kidney failure). One misconception is that the Shar Pei have skin problems due to their wrinkles. Yes some Shar Pei have skin problems, but it is not because the dog has wrinkles, but rather a hereditary condition. Due to over popularity in the 1980's, some Shar Pei do have hereditary skin problems. However if you buy from a reputable breeder, this condition should not be a problem. Be sure to find a breeder who strives for healthy dogs.
