The article mentions that the Shar Pei' were good fighting dogs when in fact they were such good natured that they would not make good fighting digs. Attempts to make them fight with stimulants failed as well. The dogs are known for their pristine stance great wrinkles and incredible loyalty. Shar Pei's are a great family pet. Regards, Jenny Armstrong. Chariman of the Shar Pei Alliance.

[edit] Gallery
Galleries of dog and cat breeds have been phased out all over Wikipedia for the most part, except to show significant variations (every single possible color does not count as significant) in the breed's appearance. The removed gallery, even the revised version, made reference to types of Shar Pei unrecognised by the article and including very poor images in terms of composition. This is not a free gallery for people's pets, and images included must have not only a clear purpose but be of good quality. VanTucky 02:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I can understand removal of galleries if there are simply several images of the same type of dog (e.g. 8 pictures of a standard Boston Terrier) but this gallery only shows the three distinct coats that distinguish the three types of Shar Pei - useful information if you're thinking of purchasing or breeding this dog because in addition to personal preference, some hair types can cause rashes in humans. I can add this information into the main article if needed then the images will support the text.
I'm not trying to showcase my own dog but if I've taken the photo myself then I can be absolutely sure that the image won't vioalte any copyright laws by posting it to Wikipedia. Waldopepper 01:30, 2 July 2007 (GMT)
[edit] A nickname for the breed is "Golden Lion", referring to dogs who have a light brown coat.
I think anyone who owns a Shar Pei would agree that the nickname probably comes from their regal atitude and cat like hunting and playing to simply the color of the dog. Although there is no citation for any of this... 69.143.18.31 (talk) 01:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)\
[edit] Big Brother
The article says:
Zac Lichman from Big Brother had a Shar Pei named Molly, who undertook a task on Day 55, and was also reunited.
