the sharpei club champshow is on this sunday-i think theres 90 entered, -held at great barr leisure centre , birmingham, so anyone interested in the breed there should be a lot to see .

Dizzy I spend most of my time trying to avoid 'wrinkles' ;)
But am sure your Peis are lovley............ Good Luck :)

liberty :)

I wd. love to come and watch but unfortunately it looks as though I'm going to have to go to Spain and show a friends dog over there. It's a hard life but somebody has to do it:d

oh poor you :( . i'll be thinking of you :D

When I went up to the school today to pick up Savannah there was a lady there with a shar pei puppy it did not look very old and it was very wrinkles, it was getting lots of attention but she said that it had,had and operation on it's eye lids(I thought entropian) is this a common fault in shar pei,the breeder had told her it was a common fault and not to worry it was not hereditory. could you confirm this dizzy

its very rare to have an eye op needed these days, -------- mine certainly have never had one, and as far as i know neither has anything i bred !!!---the breeder sounds clueless---but then what sort of breeder was it-----where they breeding for the good of the breed-or for money , just using anything. ------------ theres a world of difference between a well bred and carefully reared pei from a respectable breeder---to some of the ones you can find bred with no knowledge of the breed in general and no interest in anything but cash
, ---youve only got to go to a show and look, theres lots of lovley clear eyes.
might be worth getting the owner to visit the club website and see the many healthy pei pups breeders are now having, we really have come on so much in the last few years that its shocking to hear of a breeder telling someone such cr-p -

Thanks will see her at school she may have something to say to the breeder, she said the lady was local but she had never said anything to me about getting a dog even though she know's we have a few and show, we take them the dogs up the school to pick savannah up.That is the trouble when people do not do research into a breed.

So young lady (Dizzy!), how did you do?

Don't keep us in suspenders? ;)

well !! there was an entry of 90----- and casey got her 12th cc. and reserve best in show to the dog, :) we had a lovley day------and the night before a few of us met up for an indians [and a pint :D] booked our rooms for crufts too at the same place--------ive only got one more show this year that has cc's available, which is buba,

Well done :) And was Fillis pleased to see you when you came home? :D

yes--and i swear shes grown :)

She probably has - who was feeding her? If they are anything like my hubby she'll have put on 3 lbs

yep-----hubby was :D

Well done Dizzy.

Well at Murcia the dog that I handled won best dog and Antonio took his bitch in and she won her class. My friend who came with me took the bitch in and Antonio the dog and my friend won best of breed with the bitch!!! Antonio won the group with her but then we had to rush off to the airport so don't know yet how he did.

It was a great weekend though. Sure I've put on about a stone in weight with all the food!

Congratulations to Sue Butterfield & Bailey on taking the dog CC & BIS!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS :) Casey should have won 2 years running - not that I am biased at all but she is gorgeous pei :D :D

Gina :p

gina---after all shes won, espescially the wkc best in show win, ---im pleased with what she got, its the judges choice on the day!!!!! shes won more than any other shar-pei ever, so if she never won another thing, i couldnt grumble,

Well done AGAIN Dizzy and Casey!!
Any photos of baby Fillis on your site yet?
Liz

not yet-----were having some new pics taken so she has a page of her own-----i can email you a pic if you like though.

Have to say that she looks gorgeous. In Murcia Spain the Pei's were so small, nearly looked like a different breed. I think I took a picture of one when I have it developed I'll e-mail you Dizzy.

good------i'll look forward to it- :D

thought id share this---caseys sire hasnt been shown in the uk, --he was brought over for his breeding--but, at the club champshow in a line up of 8 bitches for the cc---6 of them where by him !!!!!!! so you wont be too suprised to read hes top sire, [again]----proving that its not the dog that winning in the ring thats guaranteed to sire the goods---but a dog with great genetic make-up is for me more likely to pull it off, :D , what are others veiws on this, ????????

Top brood bitch last year and this (cannot be caught now) in my breed was not shown very much, and did not do wonderfully well in the ring. Second top stud last year and (?) top this year was shown and only won a couple of RCC's. This bitch and dog were bred to produce two wonderful litters from which their brood/stud achievements came.
