"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."


uh ... the link points to an otterhound

sorry, fixed it

You could just get him a nice mutt. My dog is part Chow and part hound dog. I call her a Chowhound. :)

yeah and $2500 ain't the market value for an english bulldog.

Getting a mutt is a good idea too. We adopted a dog that is part afghan, part sheperd part whoknowswhat and we love it. Mutts seem to have less health issues and also have interesting personalities (adopted ones especially).

$2,500 is the market value of a good show dog. Pets are cheaper - $1kish.

I have:

Boxer/Pit Bull Mix
American Bulldog / Pit Bull

They're amazing. 2 of the greatest things inthe world as far as I am concerned.

$2,500 ain't going to win most shows either.

Few spend 1K on a pet though..

thanks for trying...pull forward and come again.

I ended up getting this dog. Named her Zelda.

Sharpei. Real cute. I've never seen one in real life.
