About Anne the Loving Terrier | |
|
|
Anne (knows her name as Chloe) was adopted from PRBJ a year and a half ago and unfortunately her family has met with hard financial times and cannot keep her. Here is what they have to say about this wonderful girl:
I adopted Chloe from you in March of 2010 (Her name was Anne back then). She was listed as a Shar Pei/Lab mix. She is an amazing, sweet dog and is the perfect pet. She is very gentle and kind to people of all ages. She doesn’t jump, but will “smile” and wag her whole body when she greets you. She is completely house trained and takes commands well (sit, stay, come). She doesn’t bark unless she hears something that alarms her outside (which is rare). She loves to run at the dog park and is very submissive with other dogs. She is not aggressive toward people or other dogs. She doesn’t require a lot of attention. She just wants to be near you. She does enjoy playing, mostly if it allows her to run and “shake” you when you try to get her. She also loves car rides. You do have to keep her on a leash, because she is a free spirit and very adventurous. If she sees the opportunity to run free, she takes it. The only way to get her to come to you then, is to say “Chloe, let’s go bye-bye.” She will immediately run to the car door. She is such a wonderful dog, a perfect pet, a great companion. It truly breaks my heart that I can no longer give her all the love and care she deserves.
Are you familiar with the Shar-Pei breed? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the ancestry of the Shar-Pei is uncertain. It may be a descendant of the Chow Chow, however, the only clear link between these are the purple tongue. However, pictures on pottery suggest the breed was present even in the Han Dynasty (206bc). For many years the Shar-Pei was kept as a general-purpose farm dog in the Chinese countryside, used for hunting, protecting stock, and guarding the home and family. During that time the Shar-Pei was bred for intelligence, strength and scowling face. Later, it was used in dog fighting. The loose skin and extremely prickly coat were developed to aid the dog in fighting, making the Shar-Pei difficult for the opponent to grab and hold on to. During the Communist Revolution, dogs were rescued by a Hong Kong business man named Matgo Law, who appealed to Americans in 1973 though a dog magazine to save the breed. From those few specimens, the Shar-Pei fancy has grown tremendously over the past decades. The Shar-Pei is very loyal to his handler. It is an intelligent dog that does not always follow orders slavishly. Playful, active, dominant, and brave, they bond with their family, but are not unfriendly toward strangers. They make a delightful companion and good watchdogs. The Shar-Pei needs a confident handler. If you are too uncertain, too inconstant, too soft, or too mild in the dog's eyes, it will take over as the boss. These dogs are very clean and almost housebreak themselves. Famous for their wrinkles, Shar-Pei slowly loose their wrinkles as they get older. They generally hate water and try as hard as they can to avoid it. The Chinese Shar-Pei will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is moderately active indoors and will do okay without a yard. Because of their padded head, the Shar-Pei is very sensitive to heat. Shade and water must always be available. Provided they get enough exercise, they will be very peaceful indoors. They have a life expectancy of about 10 years.
