The Chinese Shar-Pei is a medium-sized dog with a compact, muscular build. Its most distinctive features are its loose, wrinkled skin and its blue-black tongue. The breed has a short, bristly coat that comes in various colors, including fawn, red, black, and cream. The ears are small and triangular, and the tail is thick at the base, tapering to a fine point and curling over the back.
