The head of the Shar-Pei is large and covered in profuse wrinkles on the forehead continuing into side wrinkles which frame the face.  It has a square boxy shape with a large, wide, darkly colored nose which can either be black or brick, a mixture of pink and black.

The skull of the Shar-Pei is flat and broad and moderately defined.  The muzzle of the dog is one of the most distinctive features of the breed.  It is broad and full with approximately the same length from the stop to the occiput, or the back part of the head or skull.  The lips and top of muzzle are well-padded and may cause a slight bulge above the nose. The tongue, mouth, and gums are a solid bluish-black color.  A spotted tongue or a pink tongue is a major fault and a disqualification in some cases.  Shar Pei teeth are very strong and meet in a scissor bite.  Teeth that don’t meet in a scissor bite are considered to be a major fault as well.

The Shar-Pei breed have very small, thick, triangular shaped ears  They are slightly rounded at the tip and set high on the skull.  The ears may curl or set forward toward or over the eyes.  Pricked ears are highly undesirable and a disqualification among competitions.
