So it is going to be a Shar Pei after all and now comes the most important part of the process of getting your new pet, you have to compile a list of Shar Pei breeders to talk to. There are ways to eliminate certain breeders before you even get to talk to them and that is probably a good thing to do because this search is very important. You want all of the input you can get from qualified sources so that your time is spent talking to good candidates and not wasted talking to bad breeders.

The first thing you always want to find out is if a breeder is listed with any of the national breeder registries that you will find on the Internet. Ask the breeder what registry they are listed with and then confirm it for yourself.

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.

It cannot be emphasized enough that your vet is an invaluable resource when it comes to Shar Pei breeders and you should consult with your vet about the breeders you are considering. If you do not have a vet at the time then there is no better time to secure the services of a vet than when you are looking through Shar Pei breeders. Your vet will have the information you need and that can help save you a lot of potential future aggravation.

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.

You would be surprised at who takes the time to post information on the Internet and also what information is available. You can save yourself some time and aggravation by just checking with the Internet first.

Always take your time when searching for a breeder and be prepared to talk to a lot of breeders before you settle on the one you will buy from. But in the process there is no reason why you cannot use the resources available to you to help you eliminate the breeders that are not worth your time and will never be breeders you will ever do business with.
