Shar-Peis have unique "hippopatomus" heads.
The Chinese Shar-Pei is a pure breed of dog easily recognizable for its wrinkly skin and uniquely shaped head. These large dogs have sandy-colored coats. Shar-Peis are known for their fierce loyalty to their masters but can be aloof and standoffish around people they do not know. They are usually very intelligent, but can be stubborn. Whenever finding a stud service for a purebred dog, including Chinese Shar-Peis, consider your dog's health and the history of the kennel where you want to breed her.
Instructions
1. Look for a local Shar-Pei breeder who is registered with the American Kennel Club, especially if you are interested in producing purebred puppies. Talk to the kennel owner and ask about stud fees. Some kennels charge a fee while others may want the pick of the litter. Agree on terms before scheduling an appointment for breeding.
2. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian before you take your dog to be bred. Ask for a pre-breeding examination. Make sure the dog is completely healthy and is up to date on her shots and is parasite-free. Test for brucellosis, a bacterial infection that can sterilize or induce miscarriage in dogs.
3. Wait for your dog to go into heat. Female dogs typically come into heat after their first six months, but it can occur later. According to the AKC, responsible breeders never breed a dog in her first heat. Signs of heat include a swollen vulva and bloody discharge from the vagina.
4. Call the breeder to schedule an important to mate your dog with the stud once your dog is in heat. Take your dog to the breeder since females are less inhibited by new surroundings than male dogs. Let the breeder assist with the mating if needed. During mating, the male and female may not separate for up to 30 minutes. Do not be alarmed. This is a normal part of the process.
5. Keep your eyes out for signs of pregnancy, including weight gain, growth in nipple size and an increased appetite. Dogs gestate for about 63 days, according to the AKC. Take your dog to the vet after 28 days to confirm pregnancy. Ask the vet for special care tips for your pregnant dog.
