SHAR PEI 

               WE HAVE BEEN A SHAR PEI BREEDER  FOR 

                                          25 YEARS 

The Chinese Shar-Pei once a very rare dog breed, is often called the "wrinkled dogs".  Their intelligence, keen ability to be a watch dog, easy housebreaking, and short coat makes the pei a wonderful pet.  The Sharpei is the perfect addition to both the traditional family of mom, dad, and children, as well as, the ideal companion for a couple looking for a substitute child, or devoted friend for the single person.  They are comfortable in an apartment setting with nice walks as well as in a home inside with a backyard to go in and out occasionally.

Colkim Kennel is proud to be among the original group of Shar Pei Breeders in the United States.  We started in 1979.  Our original Shar Pei's were registered with the Chinese Shar Pei Club of America.  These purebred dogs were called foundation stock.  In 1992, The American Kennel Club removed the Sharpei from miscellaneous class to full AKC registration.  Colkim Kennel had our first SCPCA champion in 1982.  Most of our loving puppies have Champions in their background pedigree.  Breed and Pet quality are an ideal choice for a family pet.  Showing demands a lot of time and training.  Most individuals find showing too demanding.  All puppies obtain a complete physical and health certificate.  Our puppies are genetically guaranteed.  Our puppies are in many beautiful colors such as blue, dilute chocolate, cream, fawn, flowered (spotted) apricot and blacks.  Colkim has both mini and standard, hoarse, brush, and bear coats.  

        

In March 2005, Betty Colgate joined a Shar-Pei Group sponsored by Lana Tsan and Eric Takeshi Omura to visit Dailet China.  The group was privileged to attend a Specialty Show for the Shar-Pei and Tibetan Mastiff.  In 1979 we imported our first two Shar-Pei's from Hong Kong : Down Homes Ip Hei Tung and Down Homes Wu Kam.  However, until this trip, we did not know the actual history of the Shar-Pei in China.  To truly understand our Shar-Pei,  Eric Takeshi Omura has created a wonderful website about the Shar-Pei's origin and development .
