The small deep-set eyes are dark and almond-shaped. Tiny ears are thick, triangular in shape and slightly rounded at the tips. The ears lie flat against the head of the dog. The muzzle is broad. The nose is large and dark. The Shar-Pei's tongue, the roof of the mouth, gums and flews are bluish-black. A pink tongue is a disqualification.
