The Shar-Pei is a type of dog breed known for its deep wrinkles and blue-black tongue. Although the Shar-Pei has been identified as a basal breed that predates the emergence of the modern breeds in the 19th century, the American Kennel Club recognized it as their 134th breed only in 1992. color, and any Shar-Pei with a 'flower-coat' (white with either black or blue patches) is a disqualification. Colors include black, blue, brown, red, fawn, red-fawn, five-point red, cream, apricot, chocolate, and various sables (e.g. sables, black silver sables and black bronze sables). The horse-coat is generally thought to be more active and predisposed to dominant behavior than the brush-coat. The traditional Shar-Pei that is most popular in China is more faithful to the history of the breed (taller, less wrinkly, a flatter mouth and nose, horse-coated). As puppies, they have lots of wrinkles and as they get older, they have fewer wrinkles.
