Our beloved sharpei died last night General Chat

Hello everybody I am a new member and I hope I can at some time contribute something useful.
But, today I and my partner Shirley are very sad as our sharpei Dudley 3 yrs old died last night from amaloydosis and we are particularly devastated as his partner Ruby 6yrs
also died in june this year from the same thing. We had a male Shady who also died of the same complaint some 5 yrs ago so now all our dogs have died from this terrible sharpei problem.
What I would like to know is if there is anyone out there that is a sharpei breeder that can honestly say that he has never bred a dog that has ended up with this problem as it seems to be quite widespread.
We would like to get another sharpei as we love the breed so much but we are now afraid that we would have to go through this trauma again as it is so stressful.
I look forward to your comments. Mike

no comments really but welcome to dogsey

so sorry to hear of the loss of your babies

To inca,

Thank you for your kind words I just hope so one can give us some hope .

Regards Mike

so sorry to hear this, it is hard to lose a beloved dog anyway but when they are so young still, and to loose all 3 like that is just dreadful for you.

Really sorry to hear of your loss

Many thanks , it is heartbreaking and I find the the house very quiet without him now, normally he would sit with me whilst I worked on my computer, he was a real mate.

So sorry to hear of your sad news, I have no help to offer, just my condolences. xx

Thanks Trish,

Thats a lovely quotation I will remember it.

Hello, im sorry to read about your pei, i can honestly tell you ive never bred one that died of "A" although i did lose one to cancer

Certain lines seem hot and have more risk than others , i had someone call me tonight who has his nearly 3 year old male on a drip and it doesnt sound good either as the tests came back looking like organ faliure

you can mail me at home if you would like to linda.bellicose @ btinternet.com

Sorry for your loss

The Rainbow Bridge

By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill,
In a lush, green meadow, where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run
When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land they wait and they play
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer in pain or in sadness
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed
Their bodies have healed with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass without even a care
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back.
Then all of a sudden one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from the past.
The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt whilst they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever
And then, side-by-side, they cross over……..together​

Welcome to this wonderful site. So sorry for your losses - hope you find a place in your heart for another dog, when the time is right. Hugs xoxoxox

You are very welcome

Thanks Vicki,

I will probably have another one as I have always had a dog in my life as I feel there is something missing in my life.

I like your funny quotes some could be true ?!!

I see you live in Croydon I was born in Kingston upon Thames but now live in Ramsgate Kent.

Many thanks.

I am sorry for your losses:-(

Please do contact Dizzy. She is an outstanding breeder, and I doubt that you would find anyone more knowledgeable about Shar Pei and their various lines.

Hi Shadowboxer,

I have made contact with her tonight and will be speaking to her soon.

Many thanks for your concern. Mike
