I love the Shar-Pei. Almost did a co-own with a lady who had a beautiful red female, but I had too many of my own in the ring back them. It was during the almost 20 years I raised and showed Rotties. I started in Jr Showmanship at 12 with GSDs. That was MY breed as a young girl. I used to handle other's dogs way way back, but of my own it was GSDs, Dobies, Rotties and Akitas. I haven't shown for a few years now and the last of my Rottie lines have been gone for 7 years now. Couldn't find anything I liked in the states and don't have the money I once had or I would have imported again (all my dogs were imported, back them) so I bough my first Cane Corso who is now 6. Then the strangest thing happened. I found a breeder online and also bought my first?????? Toy Poodle! LOL My older kids would show up and see him and tease me about him. Guess it was old age. I had to have him. Also have a mini female that I was upposed to buy for breeding to my little male as a toy. My male is 4 pounds. The female is 13! Anyway I went to see her and they said they'd give her to me. I wasn't going to take her till they said they were taking her to the pound, so I took her home and intended to find her a new home, but people just don't want her size. Plus I don't know minis well and she looks like there might be something else in her. Sweet dog, but I spend NO time with her and she really needs someone to love her all the time. Hopefully I'll find her a great home someday. Until then, she's still here.
What part of OK are you in. I've been in California since I was 4 but lived in Blackwell way back when the smelter was open.
