About Shar-Pei Dogs

Shar-Pei are distinctive Chinese dogs known for their deeply wrinkled skin, blue-black tongue, and broad, hippo-like muzzle. They are independent, loyal, and calm, originally bred for hunting and guarding in southern China. Their unique appearance makes them one of the most recognizable breeds.

Adopting a Shar-Pei brings a devoted, quiet companion who bonds deeply with their family. They are naturally clean, calm in the house, and protective without being aggressive. Their independent nature means they are content with their own company but deeply loyal to their people.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Albuquerque winters are mild with light snow that melts quickly and plenty of sunshine. The bosque trails along the Rio Grande are pleasant for winter walks. Nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing, so bring a coat for your pet on early morning outings.

Spring

38°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and blooming desert wildflowers. Wind and dust can be an issue in March and April, so keep walks to calmer periods. The Sandia foothills trails are excellent for hiking with your pet as conditions improve.

Summer

62°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, dry summers demand shade and water on every outing. The high altitude means stronger UV exposure, so light-skinned pets may need sun protection. Monsoon thunderstorms arrive in July and August, bringing sudden downpours and flash flood risk in arroyos.
