Sharpei - Towel Dog

At a quick glance, one could easily mistook this Sharpei for a towel. The Sharpei is a Chinese breed dog that is well known for its distinctive features of deep wrinkles (towel look) and a blue black tongue. As puppies, Sharpei have numerous wrinkles but will disappear once they mature. It is also once named as one of the world’s rarest dog breeds by Time magazine and the Guiness Book of World Records.

actually sharpei’s become blind as they get older due to the wrinkles that get in their eyes. they are bred purely for fashion,and that is animal cruelty

People should really become educated before they make statements! Shar Pei’s are one of the most wonderful breeds on the planet. Smart, loyal easy to train, I have owned 7, not one with skin problems, they can have some trouble as a puppy do to wrinkles and need their eyes tacked or surgery. They do not become blind. They were not bred for fashion, but for fighting. The breed is over two thousand years old. Hardly a latest fashion statement! But they do grow out of a lot of their wrinkles. Skin on them grows faster than anything else. It will always be lose but full grown usually not as wrinkly. Full of different personalities, they are a delight to own. I currently have two brothers of different ages, and two completely different dogs. I could not ask for more. Please become educated in whatever breed you are interested in so you are not surprised.
