Shar Pei Food, Allergies, Skin Allergies, Training, Food Allergies, and Lifespan
Shar Pei (officially known as Chinese Shar-Pei) is a dog breed from Southern China originally bred to guard livestock. In the west the breed is popular for its deep wrinkles. However, the traditional Shar Peis possess a less wrinkled form. They are maintained in Hong Kong. Shar Peis resemble many dog breeds from the mastiff family, although, it is closely related to the Spitz breeds, Chow Chow being the closest relative. Both Chow Chows and Shar Peis possess the distinctive blue-black tongues.
