A mixed Chinese Shar-pei

Here is a female thirteen-year-old Chinese Shar-pei mixed with Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is quite protective and guards a house and backyard very well. When a stranger or car is near the house, she produces scary low-pitch growls from her abdomen. When she goes out, she often sniffs the ground and things more than other dogs.

Please note these:

A Chinese Shar-pei (沙皮狗) has typical wrinkled skin and is raised by Chinese for dog fight -- supposedly the loose skin makes it difficult for another dog to establish a firm bite on the body so she can easily escape being held down by another dog.

A Rhodesian Ridgeback is often used as a hunting dog and has very sharp sense of smell.
