Shar Pei
The Shar Pei once upon a time was one of the rarest dogs on the planet, the adorably pudgy and wrinkly Shar Pei has been a resident of China for over two thousand years. Although this breed looks totally cute, the Shar Pei’s loose skin has a rathr gruesome purpose – it allows the breed to twist and bite during dog fights, leaving it capable of retaliating even if an opponent got a good hold in. While their popularity as dog fighters has subsequently lowered, the Shar Pei still maintains its guarding instincts and a serious temperament.

Pekingese
This ancient breed for many years only inhabited the Chinese Imperial Palace and nowhere else. They actually were not imported out of their native country until 1860, when British and French troops invaded during the Second Opium War and took some home. These blunt, mushed faced, furry little goblins are not keen on strangers nor children either.
