In 1990, an elderly couple bought a Meishan pig, thinking it was a Shar-Pei. The couple later sued the animal breeder after they were laughed out of a dog show.
Like the Chow Chow, the Shar-Pei has a bluish-purple tongue, and these are the only two breeds in the world with this particular tongue color. The color was thought to ward off evil spirits.
Shar-Pei breeds should weigh between 45 and 60 pounds and stand about 18–20 inches at the shoulder.
