Thank you both Dan & Fran!

I'd have never known she was Shar Pei either…although when she was a baby, she had tons of wrinkles, but as she grew, she grew into the wrinkles. Now she has them only on the top of her head. But the clincher to the Shar Pei is the allergies several people have commented on who are allergic to their fur :o.

no clue…she's a rescue adopted @ 3 months old.

the very night i brought her home she started coughing. long story short - she had a nasty case of distemper with the vet telling me she had <30% chance of survival. i literally willed her to live, spoon feeding her chicken and rice for 3 months. she coughed for over a year even after she was well, and she was nicknamed "the incredible coughing dog". 5 years later, she's fit as a fiddle!

funny thing happened to her - for the first 2 years, she never barked (typical basenji). a friend with a border collie started staying with me and Rosie would bark at all the dogs/people walking past the house. Lo & behold, Greta B 'learned' to bark! now i can't shut her up!

Stumbled onto this site today and thought I'd pop in and show off my best gal, Greta Blue! She's basenji/shar pei mix. I'd have never thought Shar Pei, but friends with allergies to SP fur say she definitely has SP!!:rolleyes:

Let me know what you all think!
