Re: Puppy Prices - KC registered Pedigree
Shar-Pei's I have seen from as low as £300 upto £1500!
I paid £550 for Chance, at 15wks old, which I would never do again, he suffers really bad with dog agression because he was never socialised, I try my hardest for him and we have been to various classes but my hands can not handle being ripped to shreads of his leash. Of the leash he is a different dog, I have been told he is protective over me that is why he is agressive towards other dogs, we have been lucky that he has never bitten anyone but he was bitten on his first walk with us when he was little, so that could a negative factor to his agression.
Back to the prices, the average price for a Shar-Pei is £800. Some colours such as Blue, Lilac and Isabella can cost more because they are rare. There is a colour called Flowered, and that is the next colour I would like, these dogs should not be KC registared because the Shar-Pei standard says they should be shown as 1 solid colour. Most breeders put them down as the colour they are patched. Flowered Shar-Peis are a white based dog with coloured patches all over them, ie. White with Blue, White with Cream, White with Lilac. You can also get pointed and sables too. Pointed look like mini, wrinkley Rotties depending on colouring and sable is a lovely on fawn Shar-Peis with black over them.
Another fault to the breed is Bearcoats, these I believe are throwbacks from orginal breeding with Chow Chow and they do indead look like Chows but with meater lips and wrinkles if you can find them under that mane.
Both Flowered and Bearcoats are usually prices a little cheaper but recently on epups I have seen a gorgeous flowered dog being sold for £1200 the same price as his blue litter mates. I have also see a Bearcoat being sold for upto £200 cheaper than the other pups.
Black, Cream and Fawn are common colours so litters with multiple colours you will usually find they are the cheapest and it works up, Bitches also seem to cost more too.
