I understand this all. Honestly, I wanted someone who may have had experience with shar peis because I know the old style peis are still used for work (herding, gaurding, hunting, etc)
And you think I don't know that? I hunt behind a wonderful field golden, but was interested in eperiencing with new breeds. I was very struck by the woman's dogs, and was wondering if it could DOUBLE as a hunting dog. I know there are other breeds, please, I am not dumb, and am very knowledgable when it comes to dogs. However I have not had much experience with Peis and was looking for a shred of enlightenment on the subject.
