I'm Joleen C., the breeder behind CarPeiDiem Chinese Shar-Pei located in Oakwood, OH. I’ve had shar-pei since 1986. My shar-pei often do therapy dog work. I show in AKC and have been active in the Chinese Shar-Pei national club for over 20 years. My dogs live in my house and sleep wherever they want. All my puppies begin potty training outside at 4 weeks old. Socialization begins then also. I admin the Shar-Pei Health, Nutrition and Behavior group and am available if you have questions or concerns.
Q. & A. with Joleen
Why did you start breeding?
I started showing in AKC as something fun to do together with our shar-pei. We show our own dogs and have fun. I bred my first litter after getting the health clearances and my first AKC Championship on my shar-pei. I’m a dedicated preservation breeder.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, red fawn, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
CarPeiDiem Chinese Shar-Pei reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Chinese Shar-Pei.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
