All of us involved with Rudi including his very proud breeders

his achievement first time out! With the super temperament that he
has he took it all in his stride !! and all this at only l2 months
of age. WELL DONE RUDI !!!
Highesteem Perfect Gentleman V
Xandero ("Rudi") CAC
Alex and Roberta Curran, Xandero and myself wish to send our
gratitude and heartfelt appreciation of all the special caring and
consideration that was given to Rudi during his time doing pet
passport with his breeders, Thomas and May-Britt of the highly
respected Kennel of Highesteem.
We are priviledged to have been given the opportunity of owning such
a spectacular young male and we look forward to the coming year when
Rudi will be campaigned with pride both here in Ireland and in the
UK.
Thank you Thomas and May-Britt for being prepared to let Rudi come
to Ireland. In your caring he won a number of awards, but without
doubt the most prestigious one has to be the CAC which he won just
before making his journey to Ireland at the tender age of l0 months.

HISTORY
::.
I
acquired my first Shar-Pei in the early 80's. She was a cream
horsecoat bitch purchased from Glenda Parkes. Lu-Lu, as I called her,
was the beginning of my breeding venture with Shar-Pei.
Lu-Lu's first litter by the Danish import China House Danish
Explorer produced the spectacular Yacanto Rosebud, who certainly
made her mark in the show ring. I mainly specialised in producing
horsecoats, with great temperament and plenty of wrinkles! I
continued breeding for nine years and then, due to the immense
success that I was having with my Great Danes, I decided it would be
prudent to concentrate on the Danes for the time being.
In 2001, I made a very special journey, one I had wanted to make for
a number of years. Mark and I are now the proud owners of six
Shar-Pei and would like to express our gratitude to the kennels, Chalmupo,
Forgevalley, Bellshou (Russia) and Skyota for our reintroduction
into this wonderful breed.
Our first homebred litter was produced early 2004 from which we kept
a beautiful male, Yacanto Mr. Gimley. Enquiries are welcome for our
stud dogs and future litters that we have planned.
Please see our photos of Shar-Pei past and present and enjoy!
Sincerely,
