About Us

 Hi my name is Carleen Gough my husband Eddie and I bought our first shar-pei in 1992 a cream male. Ten dogs later we still have the shar-pei fever. I can't even imagine ever going through life without being owned by a shar-pei. We've had our ups and downs that come along with this precious breed. I've dealt with kidney failure, epilepsy, hip dysplasia, skin problems, entropion, swollen hocks, and fevers, among other things.

 

 This has been a rough few years here at Pooh Bear kennels, and due to all the problems Eddie and I have decided to only breed the few healthy ones we have. If your looking to purchase a healthy puppy, you may contact me as I will be glad to introduce you to a wonderful lady who I have come to know over the past few years. I am so lucky to have one of her dogs in my house. You can check him out under my Studs page and please feel free to look at his Pedigree. His name is Lava's Hit The Road Jack aka JACK. He has been the light at the end of my tunnel. Just sitting here looking at all the health issues I have been forced to face it's a miracle I found Lynn and Jack Olds.

 

 

Lynn Olds is as far as I am concerned one of the few breeders left in this world who is HONEST about this breed. She has gone that extra mile to give all buyers not only healthy dogs, but also  the mental security of each of her dogs having a long life. Jack's granddaddy BISS CH. Lava's BOS Mo-Jo Man owned by Lynn Olds @ Lava Kennels is 16 years old. As you all know this is a wonderful age for a shar-pei as most of our shar-pei never see that age.  I too wish to have one of mine live this long.

 

Since Eddie and I only have 2 breeding females and 2 breeding males we won't be breeding as we used to. But I promise that when we do the Lava line will be the line we use. I only wished I had met Lynn Olds years ago. I love what she has done with the horse coats. If we had met earlier in my quest for a shar-pei, I might not have faced so many health issues with my previous dogs. So if you are really interested in a breedable show dog I would be glad to put you in touch with Lynn. Please take a moment and look at all of our shar-pei as each one is my best friend. Thank you for visiting our home of Pei and again please feel free to e-mail me if your interested in letting a shar-pei own you.


We are also members of The Greenville Shar-Pei Club of South Carolina and The Chinese Shar-Pei Club of America
