Chinese Shar-Pei
Distinguished by its deep wrinkles and blue-black tongue, the Chinese Shar-Pei is an ancient and unique breed that served as a multipurpose farm dog in China. While they are intensely loyal to their family, their independent and guardian nature makes them naturally wary of strangers and other dogs.
