Shar-Pei!

#1. "The Chinese Shar-Pei is a large dog with wrinkled skin."
#2. "It has a square profile with a broad, flat head."
#3. "These dogs have a blue-black tongue."
#4. "The small, sunken, almond-shaped eyes are dark, but may be lighter in dogs with a dilute colored coat."
#5. "The high-set, triangular ears are very small, and slightly rounded at the tips."
#6. "The tail is thick at the base tapering to a fine point and set extremely high."
#7. "Both heavily wrinkled dogs with large heads and smaller headed dogs with tighter looking skins occur in this breed."
#8. "Puppies have more wrinkles than adults."
#9. "Shar-Pei slowly loose their wrinkles as they get older."
#10. "There are three coat varieties: horse-coat, brush-coat and a rare bear-coat, which is not recognized by the AKC. The bear-coat, does not falling within AKC standard because this particular Shar-Pei has an undercoat and a topcoat exceeding 1 inch. The popular theory about the bear-coat is that it's a "throwback" to the chow-chow. They are actually quite popular as pet quality Shar-Pei, albeit rare, and often confused with the chow by unknowing owners as well as animal shelter workers. The unusual horse-coat is rough to the touch, extremely prickly and off-standing. The brush-coated variety has longer hair and a smoother feel. The coat on either variety can be up to one inch in length. Coat colors include all solid colors and sables. There is also a lowered, spotted, and a parti colored (flowered) Shar-Pei coat, which is a disqualifying fault in the show ring according to AKC standard."
