Ori-Peis are generally affectionate, loyal, & friendly dogs. They tend to inherit the playful nature of the Pug & the more reserved, protective demeanor of the Shar-Pei.

Health Issues: Like both parent breeds, the Ori-Pei is prone to certain health issues, such as breathing difficulties known as Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome due to the Pug’s flat face.

These breeds are also high risk for hip dysplasia, skin conditions, & eye problems.

The term “big rope dog” typically refers to bulldog breeds, especially those that have prominent, thick skin folds (often called “ropes”) over their noses.

The most common breeds known for these “ropes” include:

1. English Bulldog: Known for its loose, wrinkled skin, & distinctive “rope” over the nose. They are medium-sized but quite stocky and muscular.

2. French Bulldog: A smaller breed, but also known for its facial wrinkles & nose rope. French Bulldogs are compact & have a muscular build with a distinctive bat-like ear.

Selectively breeding for “big rope” characteristics is creating an Animal Welfare Crisis due to severe Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome & it has to be stopped !
