Shar Pei

The Shar Pei is a robust, solid and compact dog, with very short coat. The head is large compared to its body, the skull is wide and flat, the stop slightly accentuated. Abundant and fine wrinkles cover the forehead and the orbital region, then extending downward to form folds. The eyes are small, sunken, black or brown in beige dogs. The ears are very small, in the shape of an equilateral triangle, attached very high and in front above the eyes. The skin forms different folds all over the body, which is a special characteristic of the breed. The tail is tied very high, curved above the back, without touching it.
