Shar-Pei display the some of the following behaviors which seem to be characteristic of their specific breed:
- Sharking is described as a circling and staring motion, characteristic of fighting dogs used to intimidate their opponents. Shar-Pei were raised as fighting dogs in ancient history and they usually present this behavior when nervous or unsure of something around them.
- When confined in a small space such as a crate or a cage, Shar-Pei tend to try to bury their food and/or water.
- This particular breed does not like to go outside in the rain. Shar-Pei are known to dislike water and will sometimes refuse to go outside if raining.
- Because they have poor peripheral vision from the excessive skin folds around the eyes, Shar-Peis tend to dislike being pet on top of the head.
