The Miniature Shar Pei or Mini Pei is a breed of dog with slightly smaller proportions than the larger Shar Pei. They have been bred to be smaller in size through a recessive gene carried in their DNA. The reduced size of this breed creates a versatile dog that is unique yet small, making for a good family companion. The height of a Miniature Shar Pei does not exceed 17 inches high at the withers; over 17 inches is a disqualification and does not meet the breed standard. In terms of weight, they range from 25 to 45 lbs.
