In 1994 my mother (Kay) purchased our first Shar-pei, i was only 8 years old and i instantly fell in love with the breed. His name was Yooshiwoo Pandason from Dahfang Kennels in NSW, he was a solid Black Horse Coat male (photo above) his lines originated from the U.K. Our second shar-pei was Dahfang Honey Rolls also from Dahfang kennels, she was a Red Fawn Brush Coat Female. Her lines were import by Dahlet, they imported a girl from the U.S.A via U.K. American Maid (lovely chunky horse coat). Her sire was CH Gelds A Cappella a Mr. Dillon dam Fingertail be bop mai tai. Soon after they purchased frozen semen from two top stud dogs from well known show winning kennels Acappalla Hit the Jackpot and Golds Mr. Dillion.

When i was 19 i moved out of home and took one of my mothers original stock (Sandyshreu Fluffy Bear) and bought an Isabella snow nosed Brush Coat Male RumetoMove Diablo from Victoria. 1 year later i bought a 5 point Red Brush Coat male from Amibas Kennels in QLD. Around the same time my mother bought a Blue Brush Coat female from Dahlet Kennels.

At present time we have four males; one Fawn Horse coat, one Red Fawn Brush Coat, one Isabella Brush Coat and one 5 point Red Brush Coat, and we have three females; one Red Bear Coat, one Fawn Horse Coat and one Blue Brush Coat. Our main goal over the next few years is to improve the Blue and Lilac lines, we plan on doing this by using the lines that are here in Australia and our imported lines from a top breeder in France "TyKoanKy" who's lines originally came from number one breeder in Russia Chernyi-Chizh, puppies from these lines will be available in late 2007.

At Sandyshreu we treat our Shar-Pei like a hobby not a business, we don't show at the moment but we have in the past and might begin when we feel our Shar-Pei are ready. We focus on each one of our shar-pei, all of our shar-pei grow up in a family environment and around children. We are located in the heart of Sydney, 10 minutes from the Airport, City and Bondi. Feel free to enquire about our shar-pei we have litters twice a year, we update our website regularly and answer emails daily. If you are new to the breed don't hesitate to email!
