WudaFace Chinese Kennels

WudaFace Doggie Kids Awaiting Us at the Rainbow Bridge

Chesapeake's Mali WudaFace NM360685/05

Mali was our first Shar-Pei. She had her share of health problems and was spayed. She had a great disposition with people and most dogs, but she had an occasional arguement with some of our other girls about who is in charge. Her hip OFA was SP-2961G28F, but her elbows failed OFA certification. Mali was a black, brushcoat born September 2, 1988 and succumbed to amyloidosis September 9, 1996.

AKC Champion Mandarin's Muggins WudaFace TT NM365726/01

Muggins was out of Kathy Basler's CSPCA Champion Mandarin's Sonny Daze ROM and Osage's Apricot Cream Violet. Muggins finished his AKC Championship at 4 years old with two 3 point majors, a 4 point major and a 5 point major! He enjoyed making the occasional appearance in Veterans at Specialties. His OFA elbow registration is SP-EL13-T, and his hip registration is SP-3010G24M-T. He was a cream brushcoat born February 3, 1989 and died October 6, 1998 after escaping from his yard.

Muggins Here is what Muggins necropsy report said:

LIVER: Mutiple foci of acute hemorrhage with rupture of hepatic lobules. There was also a nodule of degenerative hyperplasia within the liver.
SPLEEN: Diffuse congestion and areas of acute hemorrage on the capsule and extending into interstitial and interlobular areas.
LUNG: Focal areas of congestion, hemorrage and atelectasis. There are red blood cells within lumen of bronchi and a focal area of osseous metaplasia.
HEART: A very small focus of chronic inflammatory cell infiltrations in the epicardium. The myocardium is otherwise not remarkable.
KIDNEYS: Focal areas of acute hemorrhage. All areas of the nephrons appeared to be functional. Glomuleri are intact and there was no evidence of increased deposition of any eosinophilic material resembling amyloid.
PANCREAS: Multiple focal areas of acute hemorrhage.
COMMENT: The acute hemorrhage in the various organs and tissue is consistent with acute trauma to the animal and to these structures. There was no evidence of any eosinophilic deposition on basement membranes, and specifically in the kidneys to indicate possible involvement with amyloid. These structures are considered negative for amyloid.

We verified with our vet and the lab that did the testing that the congo red stain was used on all organs. While we cannot say that amyloidosis would not have developed later, or that Muggins was not a carrier, we do feel comfortable in saying Muggins was free of amyloidosis at the time of his death. Our veterinarian also commented that he did not see any unusual growths that would have suggested cancer, but tests were not run for that.

	WudaFace Mr. Bill Bergey NM593986/02 He was born January 11, 1995 at WudaFace Shar-Pei and lived with JoAnne and Ed Blankenstein. He routinely came to stay with us while his people were on vacation and he went to shows with us. He had 5 points toward his Championship. Sadly, he succumbed to amyloidosis on March 30, 1999 at just over 4 years old. He was out of our Ch. WudaFace Unchained Melody and Ch. Gemstones Ace of Spades of LC.
	WudaFace Rinkles NM695756/04 She was born September 18, 1996 at WudaFace Shar-Pei and lived with Rochelle and David Figueroa. Sadly, she succumbed to amyloidosis on Sunday, August 22, 1999 at almost 3 years old. She was out of our Ch. WudaFace Unchained Melody and Chula Vistas MacMurfees Law.

WudaFace Unchained Melody and Chula Vistas MacMurfees Law.
	Krimsun Vanilla Jubilee NM445567/03 Vanna was placed with us by our old friend Richard Scuteri. She was out of Tuck 'N Rolls O'Gee and Krimsun Cleopatra.

These values rank her better than 70% of Shar-Pei and worse than 30% of Shar-Pei evaluated by PennHip. Her OFA hip registration number is SP-5820G53F. She was a dark cream, horsecoat born October 20, 1992, and died March 23, 2000 from heart failure brought on by an electrolyte imbalance. The imbalance may have been caused by a form of Adisson's disease which attacks the adrenal gland.
	WudaFace Mr. Rhett Butler NM695756/05 Rhett was born September 18, 1996 at WudaFace Shar-Pei and lived there until he was about 8 months old. He tried the conformation ring, but his curless tail didn't win him any points. So he went to become the beloved pet of Richard and Shirley Chronister in York PA. There he lived a wonderful life until he succumbed to amyloidosis on October 11, 2000. He is sorely missed by the Chronisters. He was out of our Ch. WudaFace Unchained Melody and Chula Vistas MacMurfees Law.

She picked up her 8th point at the Glouchester County (NJ) Kennel Club show. She also made the cut in a large Open Horsecoat Bitch class at the 1998 CSPCA National Specialty. She was a fawn, horsecoat born September 18, 1996 and died February 11, 2001 from an Immune Mediated Disease. Basically, her immune system went into hyperdrive and attacked her red blood cells and platelets. She lived the last 2 months of her life with the Magaro family just west of Marysville PA, and she will be sorely missed by them too.

Minnie had a soft personality, so she didn't take well to showing. Her OFA hip registration number was SP-4367E25F-T. She was a red-fawn, brushcoat born May 31, 1991. She died on Christmas Eve, 2001 from complications brought on by amyloidosis despite never being sick a day in the first 10 years of her life.

	Pai Gei's MochaChip WudaFace CD, VSP, CGC, TDI NM473304/03 (Chip) was our second kid from Pat & Gerry Brown of Honey Brook, PA. Chip's conformation show career was cut short by an elbow injury, but as you can see in the picture on the left, he earned a leg toward his Companion Dog obedience title with a score of 183 at the Chinese Shar-Pei Club of America National Specialty in Carlisle PA, May 27, 1998.

She was living with Darin's sister, JoAnn, a few miles west of Marysville. Africa took Best Horsecoat Puppy Bitch in Futurity at the 1995 CSPCA National Specialty in Virginia Beach, VA. Africa had the most outstanding pigment we've seen in a while! The only thing one saw in her mouth were teeth! She had an outgoing personality but was not dominant. She was bred in late September 1998 to CSPCA and AKC Champion Graylands Against the Wind (Seger) owned by Dorothy Schuerman of O-Na-Pei. Chris and his siblings were born around Thanksgiving.

	U-CDX Bailey's Irish Cream XXVII, CD, NA, NAJ, CGC, TDI, TT SN016190/04 (Bailey) pictured here on the left was Pat's first English Springer Spaniel. He came to live with her because he was an unexpected Christmas present to an acquaintance. They had a nicely decorated house with light carpets, and a puppy was just not what they had in mind. Which actually was the best thing that could have happened to Bailey. He went to obedience classes, seminars, matches and trials; tracking seminars; agility classes, seminars, matches and trials; etc. Just check out the alphabet soup before and after his name! He completed his UKC Companion Dog Excellent title at the Hilltown Dog Training Club obedience trials in July 2003.

She lived with Darin's mom Wendy, and was handled by us. She took one run at agility and seemed to really enjoy herself. However, qualifying was another matter.

U-ACHX, U-CDX Pride N Joy's Luv on the Rox CDX, CDX-H, AX, MXJ, RE, CGC SN559138/06 (Roxie) is pictured below on the right. Roxie's greatest joy in the world was agility, followed closely by anything else she can do to earn treats including obedience. She earned her Open Agility Jumpers with Weaves title with a very professional performance at the Cleveland Crown Classic in December 2002. She followed that with a wonderful Excellent Jumpers with Weaves run for her first leg toward that title.

She took photo portraits of them with Patty some time ago, and created this drawing as Darin's wedding present to Patty.
	Bailey's & Cody's First Birthday, June 13, 1998 Cody is aka WudaFace Mornings First Ray. Bailey was aka WudaFace Bailey Webster. They were sons of our late Ch. Mandarin's Muggins WudaFace (Muggins) and our late Krimsun's Vanilla Jubilee (Vanna). Bailey was brought by his mom Danielle to shows, and he earned 9 points towards his Championship. Cody started out in the show ring, but when it became clear that he wouldn't be competitive, he went to live with Danielle's mom Carole. Bailey and Cody got to see each other regularly and do fun things like this!
WudaFace Charlie Chan II. Charlie lived with Janet and Chuck Howard just a few minutes north of us. He was the son of our late WudaFace African Mist (Africa). He was a bit of a couch potato, but he couldn't have been happier in this very loving home!
	WudaFace Mornings Dew. Dewey lived with Joseph Tartar and family in Lehighton, PA north of Allentown. He was out of our late Ch. Mandarin's Muggins WudaFace (Muggins) and our late Krimsun's Vanilla Jubilee (Vanna). He was a brother of Bailey and Cody above.
Chinese Shar-Pei U-CD, U-ACH Pai Gei's Mirage of WudaFace CD, CD-H, NA, OAP, AJP, RA, VSPX, CGC, TDI (Mirage) passed to the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, May 24, 2009 and we dearly miss him. We know he's now working the crowds crossing the Rainbow Bridge, awaiting our reunion. He came to live with Darin and his mom Wendy when he was a puppy. Their hope was to show him in conformation, earn a Championship and produce wonderful puppies. Instead he has become one of the country's most successful performance Shar-Pei and only the second in breed history to earn a UKC Agility Championship. He had titles in AKC agility, UKC and AKC obedience, AKC rally obedience, and public service! He was born November 7, 1997.
