Hi

I am going to be the proud mum to 2 new Shar Pei puppies in a few weeks and I am looking for a Vet in the Sydney area who is a specialist for this breed.

Any suggestions who be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

How very exciting for you.  Shar Pei puppies are to die for.   

 

The vets at Hornsby (only Penny or Angus) have seen lots of Shar Pei over the years.  

Thank you very much. I am very very excited for them to arrive.

Your breeder should be able to inform you of decent vets .Vets don’t specialise in a breed but some vets have greater knowledge and common sense for breeds 

The breeder is in Victoria and i am in Sydney so the breeder had limited knowledge of Sydney vets.

I'm sure it was meant as a light hearted throw away quote

Twodoggies, whenever someone posts on DOL that they are getting two puppies, all the naysayers and putdowners come out in force.   It makes me cross.   :):) .  Okay, so it might be difficult, it might be time consuming, but what is wrong with that.  

 

Persephone said “it will be hard work.”  No ifs or buts,  “it will be......”  Kiki1313 may be a dog trainer with years of experience, she may never have had dogs before, or anything in between, we don’t know.  But why do people always have to focus on the negative?  It drives me insane because it is so unnecessary.  Why can’t we be encouraging and supportive?

I have just gotten a puppy to accompany  an older dog and yes, even one is 'hard work'  and I wouldn't get two puppies at the same time, but that's me.  I must say I admire someone who can cope with two and maybe it's my age and I'm not up to it.  Sometimes, I wonder why the hell I got one lol.  Needless to say, my puppy is gorgeous and he is brightening up our lives resident dog included with his baby antics and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Puppyhood is over and done with in a blink of the eye.

Any experienced person knows the commitment of two puppies and certainly in many breeds two at the same time often has to be handled in a different way when they hit a certain age,

Personally I would never get 2 Shar peis at once but I guess that is based on the fact we have yet to board a Shar per that is friendly,not dog aggressive or numerous other issues( we have boarded a lot ) but have boarded 3 Crosses that are divine .

 

I don’t see anyone being negative just commenting that raising 2 pups is hard work to ensure both personalities thrive and each ones pros/cons worked and managed is not easy but I’m sure the breeder covered all this and the OP has a good plan

As someone who has a penchant for fostering multiple pups at a time, I can say that it CAN be a lot of hard work... but also can be VERY rewarding to watch multiple different personalities shape and grow into beautiful canine citizens.

 

Shar Pei can be "funny" temperamentally, so be sure to get them out and about once they've had their shots, and socialise them as much as you can (or they will handle), so you don't end up with issues later on, OK? See how they react to lots of different stimuli, people, other animals, etc... and try for as many positive experiences as possible to get them used to being socially adept.
