Chinese Shar-Pei Versus Dachshund: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund? Well, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will provide you a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund 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 Dachshund.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund 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 Dachshund. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund.
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 Dachshund
Chinese Shar-Pei versus Dachshund: Overview
A very important difference between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Chinese Shar-Pei is a medium-sized dog while the Dachshund is a tiny-sized dog.
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 Dachshund belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
Chinese Shar-Pei versus Dachshund: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Chinese Shar-Pei to the Dachshund 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.

*Data from dogtime.com, OFA.org (The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals), petcalculator.com, wikipedia.org, ATTS.org (the American Temperament Test Society)
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 Dachshund. 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 a Chinese Shar-Pei is 68 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for a Dachshund is 69 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Dachshund is a better pet than the Chinese Shar-Pei. So, you should get the Dachshund!
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 Dachshund 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 Dachshund
Below is a list of where the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund are most different:
The Similarities Between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund
The Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund are very similar in certain aspects. Below is the list of where the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund are most similar:
Size (Weight and Height) of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Dachshund
Now, let us discuss the difference in size between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund.
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.

Temperament of the Chinese Shar-Pei Versus the Dachshund
The Chinese Shar-Pei has a better temperament than the Dachshund.
This is because the temperament score for the Chinese Shar-Pei is 71.0 percent while the temperament score for the Dachshund is 69.4 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 they 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 69.4 percent, the Dachshund has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund by measuring the temperaments of 214 Chinese Shar-Peis and 49 Dachshunds.

A breakdown of the prices of Dachshunds
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Chinese Shar-Pei puppy or the Dachshund 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 from 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 one of those puppy mills that 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 Dachshund
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Chinese Shar-Peis and many Dachshunds 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.

The Intelligence of the Chinese Shar-Pei versus the Intelligence of the Dachshund
| Chinese Shar-Pei | Dachshund | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 51 out of 130 dog breeds | 49 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 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 Dachshund has an obedience intelligence rank of 49 out of 130 dog breeds. The Dachshund belongs to the `Average Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Dachshunds tend to learn new commands after 25 to 40 repetitions.
The Dachshund 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 Dachshund
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 Dachshund over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Dachshund is more popular with dog owners than the Chinese Shar-Pei. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Dachshund is 11 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Chinese Shar-Pei is 60 out of about 200 dog breeds.

Health Problems of Chinese Shar-Pei versus Health Problems of Dachshund
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. Therefore, there is nothing like a perfect puppy.
Both the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund 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 Dachshund is prone to the same number of genetic health problems as the Chinese Shar-Pei.
5 health tests are recommended for Chinese Shar-Pei while 5 tests are recommended for the Dachshund.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Chinese Shar-Peis and in Dachshunds.
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.
Dachshund Health Problems
Dachshunds are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Dachshund 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 Dachshund puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Dachshund 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 Dachshunds for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Chinese Shar-Peis and Dachshunds
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 Dachshund Breed is Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems.
This is because the Dachshund ranks 6 out of 32 dog breeds for Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 175 Dachshunds, 2 of them had Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Dachshunds, and how common these diseases are in Dachshunds relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Chinese Shar-Pei and in Dachshund and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Dachshund:
| Disease | Chinese Shar-Pei Rank | Dachshund Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Eyes problems | 2 out of 182 dog breeds | 160 out of 182 dog breeds |
| Elbow problems | 13 out of 144 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Patella problems | 29 out of 145 dog breeds | 42 out of 145 dog breeds |
| Hips problems | 68 out of 198 dog breeds | 161 out of 198 dog breeds |
| Thyroid problems | 80 out of 115 dog breeds | 106 out of 115 dog breeds |
| Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems | Not Common | 6 out of 32 dog breeds |
| Dentition Database problems | Not Common | 27 out of 49 dog breeds |
| Advanced Cardiac problems | Not Common | 30 out of 71 dog breeds |
| Congenital Cardiac problems | Not Common | 65 out of 159 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.
