How many times have you asked well know Sharpei breeders here in the UK and USA for the answer to Zena's picky eating habits !!!, and you know what everyones answer was to this problem, it is YOU that has caused Zena to be like this :-( and you admitted it to the lists that you are on. And they have given you all the help they can, etc.
Pam's reply is exactly what other people have already told you. Pick one and stick to it.
Regards
Karen aka Karisto Sharpei

stephen, i have this in my dogs, they have very little appetite until around 15 months. casey used to hide when she heard me putting food in her dish, her sister phoebe was the same-at about 15months they developed an appetite, and now come asking for there meal when its time to have it, other reasons could be thyroid problems, i did have a pei with this years ago and she would go forever without food, until it was diagnosed and treat, might be worth popping her to the vets for a health check !! then if passed fit and healthy, she'll eat when shes hungry,
