Our beloved sharpei died last night General Chat

Thanks Lynn,
I will miss him terribly and hope that through Dizzy I might be able to get another one later, it never gets easier does it.

Hi Vicki,

You could be right, Kingston used to be a nice place until they started to develope it, like everywhere these days they ruin it all by constantly building on any space they can.

How many dogs have you, I do like your breed and did consider getting one some years ago, but then went and got another Shar-pei.

Welcome to the forum Mike, so sad to read about your loss.

Hi Mike and welcome to Dogsey

I am so sorry for your loss. You must be totally devastated. Hopefully Dizzy will point you in the right direction now.

So sorry to read of your very sad loss. It is never easy to lose a treasured companion and family member, but two in such a short time is a double blow.

You are in my thoughts.

To all the kind people that have contacted me on this forum
I would like to thank you all it is truly appreciated, I must say you are a great bunch of folks who know how to comfort someone in times like these.

I hope that I can be of some help in the future for someone else.

I'm sure you will Mike - that's the caring effect Dogsey has on us all xx

So sorry to hear of your loss..........

So sorry to hear about your loss.

We have only had our Ozzy for 2 weeks and if anything happened to him it would break out hearts.

Its amazing the effects a dog or any pet can have on you.

You take care...........

So sorry to hear of your sad losses!:-(

Welcome to Dogsey!

Hello

I have only just read this and i am so sorry for your loss, i too lost a Shar Pei to Amoloyd he died just before his 4th birthday about 5 years ago, but please don't think ALL Shar Pei's suffer from this because they don't, i am not a breeder but with our first one we made all the classic mistakes and bought one that was from a not so reputable breeder and he was ill from the start, I know a few people who have had Shar Pei and they have lived out their whole lives free of any disease.

All i can say is a huge amount of research is needed when thinking of buying ANY dog but especially Shar Pei and again i am so sorry for your losses it is never easy.

Thinking of you

That seems like an awful lot - hmmmmm.. without making any assupmtions at this point, I hope you have read this: http://www.dogsey.com/dog-breeders.htm especially the bit about ethical and non-ethical breeders.

To Vodka Vixen,

I am sorry to hear you have suffered in a similar way it is such a shame when they are such lovely animals and wonderful characters.

I will not be put off getting another pei as we love the breed so much It would be difficult to change now as we have had them for over 8 yrs. Mind you I love all dogs but prefer to have a sharpei.

I have been talking to Dizzy about going to see one of her dogs later in the year so fingers crossed she may be able to help us out.

Thanks for your contact it was nice. Mike

Hi Mike

I wouldn't have ANY other breed of dog the Shar Pei is my one and only love, we have a 5mnth old pup at the mo and he is doing great, clean bill of health and fingers crossed it will stay that way. Dizzy is a top breeder, she won't see you go wrong and i would be happy to put you in touch with the breeder we got ours from (she's lovely too) we were EXTRA careful this time and we followed his progress from the day he was born and we are still in regular contact with the breeder, i think the key is patience we contacted lots of breeders but chose this one because she was the only one that showed any concern of where and who her dogs were going to, almost had to fill out a questionaire but that gave us peace of mind that her dogs were well loved.

Good luck for the future and i hope you find your perfect new addition.
