Chinese Shar-Pei Versus Collie: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Chinese Shar-Pei and for the Collie. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Chinese Shar-Pei or the Collie.
Chinese Shar-Pei versus Collie: Overview
Both the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie are similar in size. The Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie are both medium-sized dogs.
Furthermore, the Chinese Shar-Pei belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
On the other hand, the Collie belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
Chinese Shar-Pei versus Collie: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Chinese Shar-Pei to the Collie based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie
| Factor | Chinese Shar-Pei | Collie |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerates Hot Weather | 1/5 | 3/5 |

| Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests |
|
|
| Popularity out of 200 Dog Breeds | 60 | 37 |
| Intelligence Rank (out of 130 Dog Breeds) | 51 | 16 |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Chinese Shar-Pei in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Collie. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Chinese Shar-Pei is 68 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Collie is 83 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Collie is a better pet than the Chinese Shar-Pei. So, you should get the Collie!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
The Most Remarkable Differences Between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie
Below is a list of where the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie are most different:
The Similarities Between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie
The Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie are very similar in certain aspects. Below is the list of where the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie are most similar:
Size (Weight and Height) of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Collie
Now, let us discuss the difference in size between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie.
Chinese Shar-Peis weigh 40 to 55 pounds when fully grown. Chinese Shar-Peis are 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown.
On the other hand, Collies weigh 50 to 70 pounds when fully grown. Collies are 22 to 26 inches all at the shoulder when fully grown.
Lifespan of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Collie
The lifespan of Chinese Shar-Peis is between 8 to 12 years. The average lifespan of Chinese Shar-Peis is 10.0 years.
The lifespan of Collies is between 10 to 14 years. The average lifespan of Collies is 12.0 years.
Collies live longer than Chinese Shar-Peis.
Temperament of the Chinese Shar-Pei Versus the Collie
The Collie has a better temperament than the Chinese Shar-Pei.
This is because the temperament score for the Collie is 80.8 percent while the temperament score for the Chinese Shar-Pei is 71.0 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).
The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 71.0 percent, the Chinese Shar-Pei has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 80.8 percent, the Collie has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie by measuring the temperaments of 214 Chinese Shar-Peis and 896 Collies.
Price of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Price of Collie
The average price of the Chinese Shar-Pei puppy is $1620. The price of the Chinese Shar-Pei typically ranges from $1100 – $2000. However, the price of a Chinese Shar-Pei can be as low as $300 and as high as $5000. We obtained this price information by reviewing the prices of 238 Chinese Shar-Pei puppies listed for sale from various sources.
The average price of the Collie puppy is $1480. The price of the Collie typically ranges from $1000 – $1800. However, the price of the Collie can be as low as $300 and as high as $15000. We obtained this price information by collecting and reviewing the prices of 356 Collie puppies listed for sale from various sources.
The Chinese Shar-Pei is more expensive than the Collie.
| Chinese Shar-Pei | Collie | |
|---|---|---|
| Average Price | $1620 | $1480 |
| Price Range | $1100 to $2000 | $1000 to $1800 |
The charts below show the price distribution for the Chinese Shar-Pei and Collie. For different price points, the charts show how many Chinese Shar-Pei puppies or how many Collie puppies are listed for sale at those price points.
A breakdown of the prices of Chinese Shar-Peis. The typical price range is shaded Green.
A breakdown of the prices of Collies
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Chinese Shar-Pei puppy or the Collie puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.
Adopting the Chinese Shar-Pei versus Adopting the Collie
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Chinese Shar-Peis and many Collies are currently available for adoption.
These adorable and cute dogs are waiting in dog shelters hoping that someday someone will rescue them. Furthermore, adoption costs are lesser than the cost of a new puppy. Dog adoption costs are usually around $300. In addition to your local dog shelter, a good place online to see dogs that are available for adoption is petfinder.com.
Below is an adorable Male Chinese Shar-Pei named A626826 that is currently available for adoption on Petfinder.com. You can find other lovely adoptable Chinese Shar-Peis like A626826 on pefinder.com.

The Intelligence of the Chinese Shar-Pei versus the Intelligence of the Collie
| Chinese Shar-Pei | Collie | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 51 out of 130 dog breeds | 16 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 5 To 15 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Chinese Shar-Pei has an obedience intelligence rank of 51 out of 130 dog breeds. The Chinese Shar-Pei belongs to the `Average Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Chinese Shar-Peis tend to learn new commands after 25 to 40 repetitions.
The Collie has an obedience intelligence rank of 16 out of 130 dog breeds. The Collie belongs to the `Excellent Working Dogs` category. This means that Collies tend to learn new commands after 5 to 15 repetitions.
The Collie is more intelligent than the Chinese Shar-Pei.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Popularity of Collie
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Collie is more popular with dog owners than the Chinese Shar-Pei. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Collie is 37 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Chinese Shar-Pei is 60 out of about 200 dog breeds.
Popularity of Chinese Shar-Pei
Popularity of Collie
| Year | Chinese Shar-Pei Popularity Rank | Collie Popularity Rank |

| 2020 | 61 | 40 |
Health Problems of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Health Problems of Collie
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Chinese Shar-Pei is prone to more genetic health problems than the Collie.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Chinese Shar-Pei than for the Collie.
5 health tests are recommended for Chinese Shar-Pei while 4 tests are recommended for the Collie.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Chinese Shar-Peis and in Collies.
Chinese Shar-Pei Health Problems
Chinese Shar-Peis are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Chinese Shar-Pei puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Chinese Shar-Pei puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Chinese Shar-Pei breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Chinese Shar-Peis for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Chinese Shar-Peis here.
Collie Health Problems
Collies are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Collie puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Collie puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Collie breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Collies for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Chinese Shar-Peis and Collies
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Chinese Shar-Pei Breed is Eyes problems.
This is because the Chinese Shar-Pei ranks 2 out of 182 dog breeds for Eyes problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 98 Chinese Shar-Peis, 29 of them had Eyes problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Chinese Shar-Peis, and how common these diseases are in Chinese Shar-Peis relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Collie Breed is Collie Eye Anomaly problems.
This is because the Collie ranks 1 out of 7 dog breeds for Collie Eye Anomaly problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 114 Collies, 16 of them had Collie Eye Anomaly problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Collies, and how common these diseases are in Collies relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Chinese Shar-Pei and in Collie and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Collie:
| Disease | Chinese Shar-Pei Rank | Collie Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Eyes problems | 2 out of 182 dog breeds | 1 out of 182 dog breeds |
| Elbow problems | 13 out of 144 dog breeds | 107 out of 144 dog breeds |
| Patella problems | 29 out of 145 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Hips problems | 68 out of 198 dog breeds | 182 out of 198 dog breeds |
| Thyroid problems | 80 out of 115 dog breeds | 65 out of 115 dog breeds |
| Collie Eye Anomaly problems | Not Common | 1 out of 7 dog breeds |
| Multiple Drug Resistance (Mdr1) problems | Not Common | 1 out of 7 dog breeds |
| Dentition Database problems | Not Common | 13 out of 49 dog breeds |
| Degenerative Myelopathy problems | Not Common | 16 out of 70 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
