The Rus-A-Pei si an unlikely cross between two breeds that, at first glance, appear worlds apart from each other.
The Chinese Shar Pei is believed to be an ancient breed, related to the Chow Chow, and was once bred for dog fighting and bear hunting. It is very distinctive for its wrinkled skin and blue-black tongue. A reserved breed, it does not take kindly to complete strangers coming up to it and will aggressively defend its territory. However, sufficiently trained and socialized, it is a devoted and loyal family pet.
The Jack Russell Terrier is a white-coated English terrier, specifically bred with a small size to go after foxes in their dens and bolt them for their masters. Tenacious and inexhaustible, the Jack Russell Terrier is a fearless working dog that can nevertheless be a worthwhile family dog, with early training and socialization.
