Dogs In The Non-Sporting Group

The Chinese Shar-Pei is easy to recognized with their body covered in wrinkles; they also have a very unique shaped head that resembles a hippopotamus.  Did you know that Shar-Pei means sandpaper coat?  The Chinese Shar-Pei has a blue-black tongue like the Chow Chow; these are the only two dog breeds with this characteristic.  This is an ancient breed dating back to 200 B.C.; originally this breed was an all-purpose farm dog.  The Chinese Shar-Pei was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1992.
