After a lot of discussion and a few family votes you have all decided that you want a Shar Pei as the new family pet. Now that you have made that decision it is time to start the most difficult and important process in the life of your pet. You need to compile a list of Shar Pei breeders to talk to.
You can cut your time way down by using some trusted sources to eliminate any of the shady breeders and then focus your time on the breeders that will potentially sell you your new family pet.You should always ask a breeder what national breeder registry they belong with as a first level of questioning.
If they are not listed with a registry then ask them what standards they adhere to and what guidelines they run their business by if they are not using nationally recognized standards and guidelines.
You can never underestimate the value of the information that your vet has to offer and there is no better time to talk to your vet, or start a conversation with one, than during the process of weeding out bad Shar Pei breeders. If your vet has a strongly negative opinion about any of the Shar Pei breeders you are considering then you may want to move on and consider other breeders. Your vet only wants to see you get the best pet you can so their advice is a great resource.
Sometimes when you meet a breeder everything seems great on the outside but if you ask local law enforcement about them then you find an entirely different story. If a breeder's history is cataloged with the local police then you may want to stay away from that breeder and find a new group of Shar Pei breeders to talk to for your sake and the sake of your future pet.
You should utilize every resource at your disposal when considering Shar Pei breeders and one of the resources you can use is the Internet. If a breeder has an especially bad reputation then there may be warnings about them on the Internet that you can read and will save you a lot of time and hassle.
It is important to know what other people think and you can find out opinions on just about anything by doing a search on the internet and much of that information can be quite valuable.
Searching for a breeder is an important search and your final decision is very important to your family and your future pet so take your time and utilize all of your resources before you make your final decision. You can save yourself a lot of time if you just use the information available to you to eliminate breeders that are not worth talking to.
