Temperament and Behavior

Though the sharp eagles are caring and affectionate, they are otherwise a bit of an aggressive-natured canine. They would bark at the very sight of anything strange or suspicious to alert their family members, which make them a good watchdog.

The sharp eagles are playful and active that show lots of energy. They get along well with children and other pets, including dogs. These dogs tend to prefer larger dogs, but would also do well with the smaller ones, provided they are socialized properly. They are much fond of their owners and their families in return of a little attention. In fact, not just owners, once their primary introduction with your guests is over, they would enjoy spending time around them.

These canids are not much comfortable with the idea of being left alone or outside for long hours, which might develop a whining nature in them. The Sharp eagle dogs at times show obstinate behavior, especially when they get a scent of something. This is the reason why it would not be wise to let them loose, off their leash, when they are outdoors. They are not much comfortable in warm climate.

Care

Exercise

Jubilant as they are, the sharp eagles need an averagely good amount of daily exercise. They tend to become bored, anxious, and mischievous if they don’t get proper amount of exercise. Take them out for jog and walk with the leash on. Remember to only untie them from the leash when you are sure that the area they are playing in is enclosed and safe. Since they are a very playful and energetic breed, let them roam around freely, even when they are indoors. Rely on dog parks to keep them happy as well as help them socialize with other dogs.

Grooming

The sharp eagle sheds minimum or nominal. Brush and groom them twice or thrice a week, and bathe them only when they need, and are dirty. This should ensure general hygiene for your dog. Also, clean their facial folds thoroughly with a piece of wet cloth, since dogs with such folded skin might develop dermatological issues if the areas between their folds remain unclean.

Health Problems

Entropian eyelids are a health condition that they often inherit from their Shar-pei parents. In such cases, the bottom lid of the eyes fold inwards, causing problems, and might need surgery to correct the issue by withdrawing the eyelids out so that they do not touch the eye as much. Other than that, be aware of general dog diseases, and also to update your pet’s annual vaccines.

Training

The sharp eagles are smart, inquisitive dogs. In general, they would pick up training very fast. Just that, at times, they need their own time and your patience before they act on it. But do remember that, in order to control the inborn stubbornness and the frequent aggressive attitude of your dog, early obedience training is very important. Do not delay beginning your dog’s training soon after you adopt it from the breeder or some rescue.

Give it proper socialization training, and all the etiquette a pet dog must abide by. Be firm (but never rude) and assert yourself as the leader of its pack with a proper attitude. Give them housebreaking, crate trainings simultaneously. But they love your attention and are always eager to please you. So, do praise and pat them with every success they make. Positive reinforcement is the key to find success in training this canine easily.

Diet/Feeding

General dog diet, consisting of all the vital nutrients an energetic dog of its size would need, is recommended. Never compromise with the quality of your dog’s food.
