This is a bamboo shark, most probably the species known as the slender bamboo shark:

Besides, dogfish ARE sharks, so I honestly think you have no idea what you're talking about.
Males mature at around 11 years of age, growing to 80–100 cm (2.6–3.3 ft) in length; females mature in 18–21 years and are slightly larger than males, reaching 98.5–159 cm (3.23–5.2 ft).
