Hey Guys and Gals

Thanx in advance

Aren't they the wrinkley dogs with too much skin? If so, speak to Ads at Scoobyclinic He may be able to let you know where to get one, although his little pup has just died.....

I saw that thread the other day. I don't think its really appropriate to ask him at the moment.

Yeah they are the dog. They're wicked IMHO.

There is some for sale in my local Friday Add for £950.00

My son pointed them out when we were in the pub as we nearly bought one last year.

If I get in there later I'll grab the number for you. Failing that check out the Friday Add Website and do a search. This was the East Sussex Edition.

have you looked into the pro's and con's of ownership? before we got our ridgeback we spent 6 months plus researching all the different breeds we were interested in before settling on the one that seemed to suit us best.

i'd recommend going to www.doglistener.co.uk there are lots of very knowledgable regulars on there, as well as expert professionals. Also contact a reputable breeder, pretty sure you'll be able to get contact details from krufts.

for what its worth, i talked to a vet regarding shar pei's(the missus fell in love with them), she said they can be very tempermental with other dogs, can suffer from quite a range of health problems, dislike the heat and be expensive to treat, but i did get the impression she wasnt a great fan of the breed!
oh, and make sure you can see at least one of the parents of the litter, normally a good indicator as the the disposition of the pups and theyre eventual personalities

I was going to suggest the Kennel Club.. it really depends on how much you want to pay, and how much worth you put in it's blood lines and hipe scores etc..
