Home of Shar-Pei Champions
I have a new album in my Photo Gallery with a few new pics of pups I’ve bred /own.
Have had a great start to the show season, winning well; so proud of pups that I have bred winning well, but most of all living a fantastic life.
We are planning a litter later on this year from either Toastie or Crumbs. Dad will be our boy Tarquin. All health tested. Pick of litter will be available. Enquiries welcome.
Tarquin is available at stud to health tested bitches
All our puppies born on 28th December 2020 are now reserved.
As usual, I am happy to help & advise anyone about Shar Pei, so please contact me .
What a great Christmas we have had! Tarquin & Crumbs puppies arrived on the 28th December!
*** PICK MALE MAYBE AVAILABLE TO A SHOW / PET HOME ***
A fabulous litter sired by our import boy, Tarquin, & out of our Crumbs – Top Shar Pei 2019. These babies are my 8th generation here at Witchgait.
*** A puppy boy maybe available to a show/pet home ***
I’ve added just a few pictures of our last letter out of Tarquin & Toastie, who have all now gone to their new homes. Here’s to long, happy, healthy lives to them all. Click here to see the photos!
Puppies planed for early 2021! Crumbs (Top Shar Pei 2019 ) and Tarquin, our new import from Spain. Both parents have been health tested for POAG/PLL. Enquires welcome. If I have no puppies I will help you look for a suitable puppy froma reputable breeder who breeds for all the right reasons.

Also, very sad news, we lost our wonderful girl Tippi a couple of months ago. She was almost 13 years, we really miss her.
I have had a great couple of shows!
At WKC Crumbs won 1st in Junior Bitch, the Bitch CC & BEST OF BREED under Mr Stephen Cardwell
Off we went to City of Birmingham Championship Show, where Crumbs was awarded the Bitch CC & Best of Breed under Melanie Reed Peck.
Next was Richmond Championship Show, where Terry Purse awarded Crumbs 1st in Junior Bitch, the Bitch CC & Best of Breed, her 6th such award, and then Melanie Reed-Peck awarded her Utility Group 4!
I am truly overjoyed; all this & she isn’t 18 months yet. Thank you to all that have made this all possible.
OMG! Crumbs is now a champion (to be confirmed by KC) at Blackpool! She was awarded 1st in Junior, the Bitch CC and Best of Breed under Mrs Maggie Mulholland. We then went into the Junior Utility Group and won that under Jeff Luscott. What a day! Crumbs is the 8th champion that Witchgait have bred/owned. So, so proud. We do not breed very often so this is such an achievement for us.
REPEAT MATING HOPED FOR TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.
