The Shar-pei breed is amongst the oldest in the world. They are classified as an "ancient breed"- showing the fewest genetic differences from wolves, of all Dog Breeds. As with most ancient breeds, the Shar-pei is of Asian descent (most ancient breeds are from China, Japan, Siberia, or Tibet, all of which are contiguous in region). There is indication that the Shar-pei existed as far back as before 200 BC, as imagery from ancient pottery seems to depict the breed.
