Beautiful 4 yr old Sharpei

Beautiful 4 yr old Sharpei

4 years old

TARANAKI BASED

Due to changes in my circumstances I’m needing to rehome my much-loved 4 yr old Sharpei, Pia. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and finding the right long-term home is my priority.

Pia is a total Sharpei! Independent, alert & quietly loyal. Great natural watchdog. Very headstrong. Super snobby (like a cat in dog’s body!). She loves her own space, enjoys patrolling the yard & is a calm, clean house dog who thrives in a peaceful home. She’s not an affectionate cuddly dog; though may press her bum into you for a good scratch when shes happy to see you ! She’s very reserved & a little untrusting around strangers & bonds best with someone who respects her space, letting her exist quietly without pressure. She’s observant & curious, enjoys activity but is also happy chilling. loves chasing birds or rabbits. She can be territorial with other female dogs around sleeping areas but does well when dogs have separate spaces.

Details

House trained, very clean indoors

Excellent health; past eye surgery resolved

Needs ears cleaned weekly to avoid issues.

Diet is important: loves green tripe patties daily alongside quality kibble, possyum roll, and rotated foods

Recall needs work (selective hearing sharpei hehe)

Excited by unfamilar cats outside but coexists very well with cats after slow introductions.

Not suitable for chaining, tethering, or crate confinement

2 week trial available to ensure Pia is the right fit
The $600 (refundable if the trial isn’t successful) helps ensure she goes to a committed, long-term home

Please provide a short description of your home and household to help assess if it’s the right fit for Pia. Happy to answer any questions!

Pia is truly part of my family, and rehoming her is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. She deserves a calm, loving home where her independence and unique personality are respected. I’m looking for someone who will give her the care and attention she needs and continues to love her as much as I do.
