What are the benefits of joining a specialty club?



​A specialty club is a support system for your breed. The specialty club offers a storehouse of knowledge, and will be there to help support you in your endeavors with your dog. The specialty club is also a forum for others who share the same interest that you do about your dog. Hoosier State Chinese Shar-Pei Club prides itself in being a Chinese Shar-Pei specialty club.



What should I expect from a specialty club?



​One would expect that the club will give honest and unbiased information, as the HSCSPC does. It should keep accurate records of breeding and other points of interest. A club should not be biased on who enters the club, but keep an open door. A club is only as good as those who run it, and should be run in a fair and equitable fashion by the members and the elected board representatives together. The club should work for the benefit of the dogs, and for the education of the owners on how our dogs are doing in working, training, health issues, or simply being a good pet. The club is also there to help members interact, and learn from each other's experience. The HSCSPC prides itself in meeting all of these expectations and even exceeding them, we try to be there for our members in everything and really consider ourselves closer knit than just a specialty club. When you become a member of Hoosier State you become a member of our family.
