Socialize your Shar Pei early on. Because Shar Pei's are an independent breed, they may seem to be fine as an only dog in the beginning. However, if it is not socialized early, it may have problems interacting with other dogs as it grows older. Take your Shar Pei to the dog park weekly, especually if there are no other dogs in the family. Your Shar Pei will be small, so keep a leash on it and watch closely that older dogs do not harm it.
