Theo was my first Shar-Pei and taught me SO much about this wonderful breed. He was born on September 4, 1988. We got him in Richardson, TX.  At the time I didn't have a clue about what to look for.  I had NOT done my homework.  I just got lucky - with Theo it was love at first sight. Theo and I had a very special bond and I was devastated when I lost him to Lymphosarcoma in December of 1999.  I have so many wonderful memories of him and he will live on in my heart as long as I am alive.  He was and still is my very special guy.
