WHAT IS A RESPONSIBLE
SHAR-PEI BREEDER?
Breeding must taken seriously whether a one dog hobbyist or a big time
competitor. The AKC provides online material regarding the basics of
responsible breeding. Please take the time to read as much as you can
to start off with the right attitude and information.
---- AKC Breeder Resources
---- Getting Started as a Responsible Breeder
Be an educated buyer and a responsible breeder. Break the chain of fiction.
If you don't understand what the big deal is, just visit your local animal shelter.
Nearly 1,800 litters of Shar-pei (est. 8,000 new puppies) are AKC registered
each year, yet hundreds of these purebreds are eventually abandoned because
their buyers were given false information or unrealistic expectations about their
choice of pet. It's not fair to you, your buyers, or your animals to start them off
with a losing proposition. Do not breed carelessly while so many others die in shelters!!
