Q. & A. with Shayla

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always had a love for dogs. When I got my first Shar Pei, Otis, I was hooked. I was amazing by how many things you can do with Shar Pei to give them a well rounded life style and we instantly fell in love. I had always had rescues will unpredictable health, behavior, life expectancies and maintenance requirements. I want to contribute to the predictability of well-bred purebreds.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are CHIC certified through OFA, shown and worked as well as being staples in our family. My breeding program is based around health, conformation and longevity of the breed. They are my life and I enjoy the lifestyle of loving and living purebred dogs. My enjoyment stems from them having full and happy lives and enjoying my free time with them.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
