"I'm sorry. The people that own Shar Peis. I didn't mean to say that it's an ugly ass dog."
The Shar Pei looks like a brain in furry dog form. I'm kind of torn on whether that's cool or not.
Naah, this is cool
Pretty sure I fought this in Devil May Cry 4, only it had less fur and was on fire and stuff.
Boxers hands down. Long post with GIFs but y'all have to know about Boxers
1. Gorgeous when puppies:
2. Total clowns, they sleep in the weirdest ways:
3. They behave like puppies no matter their age:
4. They're the best family dog ever, so gently with babies and scale their play roughness as your kids get older:
5. Video time:
They swim and dive
They race and never want to leave their owners side
Bonus: I've had my Boxer run with my mountain bike at 48 kms (30mph). He loves it. He loves frisbee and the beach too.
yup. boxers win.
Argh, cropping ears is so awful.Docking tails too.
Our Pit/Lab mix had her tail bitten and it couldn't heal due to her slamming her tail everywhere when I would come home. I mean it became necrotic. We had to have it docked or she would have suffered more and more.

Yep illegal where I stay too, unfortunately it's still legal in many places and the Doberman is now iconic in that fashion, even in movies such as the animation Up has a Doberman with cropped ears.
Most people will only recognise them in that fashion.

Just in case anyone is wondering, this is a Tibetan Mastiff. Good guard dog. A hard keeper for sure. This is a kind of dog you really have to know what you're doing if you ever got one.Naah, this is cool
Some more photos.
Forget the dog, where do I get that house?

Yep I'm a Staffordshire Bull Terrier guy.
Added a picture of my boy owning it in the ring
Just realized I have to add that he has both his ears, thank you very much. He just points them way back when happy. Also somebody wrote that it's good to cut ears off from staffys so they don't chew them off from eachother. I have to say that I have NEVER EVER heard of something like that happening and I'm sort of following the staffy scene in Finland. To me that sounds abosolutely crazy but I quess the staffy culture is a bit "different" in other countries.

huh?
it's a pretty normal single-family house (here at least)
thanx.
yoah, austria's countryside is good looking
dog as a 4 month old teeny (yup, he is pretty damn big):
in comparison to a my ex dog (12 year old labrador):
he sleeps in this position in front of the main doorway. smh
sometimes in winter he gets covered completely with snow while sleeping on the grass. you can't spot him until he wakes up and shakes it off. a "nice" suprise for visitors
Saruman the dog.

one things is for sure: You never have to clean your floor with those dogs above this post
? the coat is thick, but they stretches out as they grow into adult.
Not, entirely, no. That is known as a 'bone-mouth' Shar Pei. It probably comes from a Hong Kong fighting dog lineage. The other version of the shar pei is much more wrinkly.
Oh my
I bet you fucking do if they have been jumping around in the mud. Instead of mopping the floor as they walk, they would plaster a nice even layer of mud across the floor.

ahh yeah, that's right, some how I remember the female one I had to be much less wrinkly when she's adult, but I've never seen her as a puppy, maybe she was a bone-mouth.
My dog didn't knew much about good videogames
He's sat down, he gotta go fast if he wants to wear a hat like that.
This is:
There's a lot of cute dogs in this topic, but damn this is the coolest. Just look at him. He's oozing cool.
Bone-mouths actually have very few wrinkles, if they have any at all,
Another picture:
It is a breed you're more likely to find in Hong Kong than in the West. That's not to say yours wasn't, it's just that the more wrinkly version is more common in the West.
I was interested in getting a bone-mouth so took some interest in them. The bone-mouth is generally spoken of as the 'traditional' shar pei, although a number of Hong Kong researchers of the breed seem to question that. Either version is marketed as an 'ancient' breed, but it is known, particularly the bone-mouth, to have been crossed by other breeds. It was a fighting dog bred in Hong Kong. The thing is, there was never really any standards other than making the best fighting dog. That's why a number of these breeders crossed them with bull terriers, pit bull, staffs, etc.

Its also I believe the most expensive breed in the world. One of my favorites, glad to see it so well repped in here!

Who the fuck actually thinks all those wrinkles are cute?
Those wrinkles are awesome dude.
Thanks for sharing, never knew about that! Yea I used to live in Hong Kong, I remember she's much less wrinkly and she was "taller" and slim, I just thought that's how the female looks like when they grow up, it's been so long though, could barely remember what she looked like, but she could just be the normal breed because my dad seem to like the more wrinkly ones.
When I think of all the maintenance and possibility for infection those wrinkles provide, it does turn me off the doggy wrinkles.
