They dislike strangers and are excellent watchdogs. They are very self-sufficient, making them an excellent option for owners who are gone for extended periods of time. However, if you like long walks or going out and about, the Shar-Pei is an excellent option for you. Not to add that their short hair requires little maintenance.
