History: Both the English Bulldog and the Chinese Shar-Pei, the parent breeds of the Bull-Pei, were bred as fighting dogs in the 1800’s and 1900’s. Bulldogs were bred to be aggressive guard dogs used in vicious sports like bullbaiting during the 1800’s in England and the Shar-Pei were trained to hunt wild boat and guard property in China. As a result of famine and Chinese government policies, many dogs were killed during the 1940’s and 50’s. The Shar-Pei breed managed to make it and thrive after the decimation. The breed was recognized by the Hong Kong Kennel Club in the 1960’s.
