The
Chinese Shar Pei Club of Tampa Bay was started in 1985 by breed enthusiasts
and has gone from strength to strength. It has 2 regional specialty
shows a year in January and July and in 2008 the club is working on
not only its 2009 regional specialty shows but also a number of Shar-pei
days where all who own and love the breed can attend. More information
can be found shortly on our Events page.
In 2000 the Tampa club had the honor of hosting the CSPCA national
specialty. Some photos from the week long event can be seen on our
2000 Nationals page.
Members of the Tampa club also manned the first meet the breed booth
at the inaugural Eukenuba Classic show in Orlando also winning a
coveted best booth in group that year.
Membership is yearly and information on joining the club can be
found on our membership page. We are
currently doing some web site updates and will have an online membership
application available shortly. Currently we have a printable
Membership application.
The club also promotes and supports breed rescue as can be seen
on our Rescue page. The number of dogs
coming into rescue has been phenomenal this year and the Florida
Shar-pei rescue and its volunteers have been stretched to its limits
but still continue to make sure that no Shar-pei needing help is
left behind. They are also desperately in need of donations not
only of money but of foster homes and anyone willing to donate time
to the rescue.
We now accept pay pal for online membership and dues.
