If I were going to purchase a Chinese Shar Pei, where would I begin to look?
The Chinese Shar Pei was a rare breed not too long ago, but conscientious breeding and the work of the Hong Kong owners group has helped bring this breed to greater popularity. In the 1980s, the Shar Pei became the dog that everyone wanted but unfortunately, the dogs were over bred, meaning unhealthy puppies for the sake of meeting customer demand. However, this problem is not as bad as it was before. In addition to going through the American Kennel Club (AKC), you can locate a number of top breeders online or through your veterinarian.
