Shar Pei
Furrowed Chinese dog
A Shar Pei is a Chinese breed of dog distinguished by its deeply wrinkled skin and blue-black tongue.
The loose, folded skin was originally bred for dog fighting, making the animal harder to grip.
Shar Peis are compact and muscular, known for being loyal but often aloof with strangers.
Also spelled Shar-Pei or sharpei.
