FAQ Shar-pei Rescue Network Helpline:

Breeders, owners, rescuers, and shar-pei friendly veterinarians will help interested families to get a true image of what owning a Chinese Shar-Pei will be like. We also recommend attending area dog shows, to get a better idea of what the standard quality should be. There are always "backyard" pet breeders, shelters, and/or novice rescuers that pass off mixed breeds or other disqualified puppies as questionable purebred dogs to uneducated owners, so it is important to be informed about choosing the dog that meets both your needs and expectations.

This web site is provided for novice owner support and adoptions only. I am no longer actively involved in the CSPCA. Please do not contact me for breeder referrals. Check with the CSPCA breeder directory for more information.

To see a dog show in your area, check the A.K.C. Events Calendar
For A.K.C. breed information, check the American Kennel Club website at Chinese Shar-Pei.

** Please note, this is not an endorsement, merely a lead to veterinary care. Ask questions about qualifications and experience with treating Shar-pei before any treatment is given.
