Shar Pei is an unusual breed of dog that appeared back in 206 BC in the territory of Ancient China. Wrinkled skin is the main feature of dogs of this breed, but despite this, such dogs are popular among modern animal lovers, including celebrities. Of course, a Shar Pei needs a beautiful and sonorous name that will reflect its character and external characteristics, as well as show the owner’s attitude towards the pet.

Writer Ernest Seton-Thompson said: “If you love me, love my dog. The bond between man and dog can only disappear with life.” And indeed it is. According to statistics, dogs live in 70% of houses, which confirms the incredible love people have for these animals. Celebrities are also not indifferent to representatives of this breed:
- Pasha is Vanessa Mae's dog;
- Nikko is a favorite of singer Jonathan Knight.

When choosing a name for a dog, there are many factors to consider, such as personality, color, and pronunciation. Pronunciation is of no small importance, since it is unlikely to be convenient to shout “Excellency” several times on the street. Therefore, the name should be short, laconic, sweet-sounding and, of course, have a sacred meaning known to the owner.
Interesting! One of the most original ways to choose a name for a dog, known since Ancient Rome, is to name the animal in honor of the most recently deceased relative. These are the traditions.

The tail is like a wire, and the limbs, especially the front ones, are like a dragon. Therefore, such colorful and poetic names will not only be suitable for a Shar Pei, but will also emphasize its advantages.

Diseases and treatment
Among other breeds, Shar-Peis are distinguished by their immunity. These dogs rarely get sick. The table will tell you about the most common ailments and their symptoms.
Table - Common Shar Pei diseases and their symptoms
Disease | Symptoms | Cause |
Allergic reaction | — Changes in the skin; - hair loss; - temperature increase; - loss of appetite; - vomit; - swelling | — Contact with an allergen; - unhealthy diet; - wrong choice of food |
Eye diseases | - The appearance of discharge from the mucous membranes; - swelling of the eyelids; - blurred vision | — Inflammatory process due to pollution; - eye injury |
Ear infections | - Accumulation of secretions in the ears; - scabies; - regular shaking of the ears; - hearing impairment | Poor hearing hygiene |
Entropy (inversion of eyelids) | Rubbing the cornea with overhanging folds of skin | Genetic predisposition |
If the breeder sees that folds of skin are injuring the puppy’s eye, he performs a simple but effective operation. The duration of the surgical intervention is no more than ten minutes. As a result, special braces appear on the dog’s eyes that prevent the skin from affecting the cornea.
Nicknames for a real fighter
Initially, Shar Pei belonged to the fighting breeds, but over time the dogs became kinder and now look more like a person’s dear friends than a zealous hunter. Therefore, these babies are readily purchased by families with children.
For fighting dogs, nicknames are chosen that in every possible way characterize the ferocity and seriousness of the representative of the breed. It is unlikely that in this category you can find a Shar Pei nicknamed “Snarky”, but the following selection will ideally highlight the characteristics of a fighting dog:
- Hard;
- Sharp;
- Strong;
- Champion;
- Bull;
- Gong;
- Boxing;
- Hercules;
- Danai;
- Tryphon;
- Roland.
General recommendations for choosing a name for a dog
In the pedigree, the dog may even be listed as Henry VIII, but if you have to call him on the street with this name, both the pet and passers-by will be extremely perplexed. Hence the first rule: the nickname should be short and simple so that the animal can react to it instantly. One or two syllables - no more.
You should also not give your new pet the name of an animal that no longer lives in the family. The reason doesn't matter - the past is best left in the past. Each dog is unique, which means that a new four-legged friend will not be 100% similar to the old one.
Important! Even kennels do not use one nickname for about 30 years after the last dog named it.
You also need to take into account the size, color, and character of the pet. So, calling the huge Tibetan mastiff Sharik is like cracking nuts with the royal seal, just like in the famous fairy tale. Let the nickname be majestic and even a little formidable.
A pet feels and knows much more than it seems, so it must have a worthy name.
But let’s move on to the Shar-Pei and find out what these noble dogs will like.
Famous Shar Peis
The popularity of the breed began to develop especially strongly in 1979, when Shar Peis began to appear on television screens - in cartoons and movies. Namely:
- the dog Hobo from the Disney cartoon;
- Barta is a dog from the cartoon “The Simpsons”;
- Pickles from the movie Animal Kingdom;
- Fu Dog is a Chinese Shar Pei from the cartoon American Dragon.
Another representative of this funny breed has become the star of an advertisement for Garnier, which actively advertises its anti-wrinkle products.
The popularity of the breed is growing every day thanks to dog owners who willingly distribute photos and videos of their pets online. What funny and amusing dog names do you know?
