I'm Katie S., the breeder behind WrinkleMonsters located in Salem, OH. I am a small breeder that strictly devotes my life to chinese shar pei. I breed for health, temperment and strive for longevity.
Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
Something that me and my mother talked about when I was about 13 years old. As soon as I was able to move out I got my first shar pei and from there it has grown.
What makes your program special?
The devotion and time I spend with my dogs and puppies, care I put into them, health testing for poag/pll and spaid gene. I will always be there for any circumstance to help how I see fit.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I could not have asked for a better experience than working with Katie at wrinkle monsters. A real professional in the field of breeding Sharpei. I have a beautiful new girlfriend and buddy at my home now.
I cannot recommend this breeder more. If you are considering getting a Sharpei, you don’t need to look any further.❤️🐶
