My friends in Hohenfels, germany, adopted a full grown 60 pound male sharpei from a family that was moving and couldn't take him. He was huge, and, they should never have gotten him. He was so much dog, and, man, it didn't matter how often you bathed him, he always smelled awful. When I get my photos from Texas, I'll scan the ones I have of Lidka (I loved the name). He was very cool looking, but, way too much dog for the couple that got him. And, his ears would always get so much junk in them and they had to have surgery on his eyes a couple of times. They are a lot of work. I don't know if he ever had agression problems, it seems I remember them writing me when we moved back to the States, and, telling me he got agressive with a lot of dogs. But, he was always sweet with Bruno. I know I personally wouldn't get one.
