33. Shar-Pei

A Chinese dog breed with southern origins is the Shar-Pei. The species is well known for having deep creases in the west. Hong Kong, however, maintains the breed in a less wrinkled state. The following dog is ranked 64th out of 197 breeds on the American Kennel Club’s list of preferred breeds. The creature’s squishy face, strong build, or actions toward strangers could all be contributing elements. These dogs can revert to their historical roots in situations of danger or confusion, in which case they may be watchful and distant. The Shar-Pei breed will fight back with perseverance and commitment until the perceived threat has passed.
