Lab Peis are a designer breed, a mix between a Labrador Retriever and a Shar Pei. They typically have a muscular build, wrinkled skin, and a loyal, protective nature. They are known for their intelligence and adaptability, making them excellent companions in various environments.

The term 'Lab Pei' likely refers to a hybrid dog breed resulting from the crossbreeding of a Labrador Retriever and a Shar Pei. Hybrid dogs do not have a natural geographical distribution as they are created through intentional breeding by humans. Therefore, they do not have a native region in the wild.

As a domestic hybrid breed, Lab Peis are typically found in environments where both parent breeds thrive. Labrador Retrievers originate from Newfoundland, Canada, and are known to adapt well to a variety of climates. Shar Peis are originally from China and are adapted to slightly warmer and drier conditions. Lab Peis, therefore, can adapt to a range of climatic conditions, provided they are cared for properly.

Lab Peis do not occupy a specific ecological niche in the wild. As domestic pets, their 'ecological niche' involves companionship, often serving as family pets. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation, typical of both Labrador Retrievers and Shar Peis. Their role within human society can vary from being family companions to participating in activities like obedience training or agility, depending on their individual traits and training.
