In school I am writing a report on a dog called Min-Pei. I cant seem to find any info.
Thank You
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Why are you writing on the Min-Pei? It is only listed as "rarebreed" list and I couldn't even find a photograph of one! Apparently it is not one of the breeds on the American Kennel Club (AKC) list either.
May I suggest you select another dog or if it was selected FOR you, have that person select another that would have information.
thank you
You might want to check with a local veterinarian or let the person who assigned this breed to you that you prefer another kind of dog.
I just spent the last 10 minutes clicking through google. It's a rare breed, but all the websites I kept looking at produced absolutely no information other than the name.
I would try contacting a vet or dog breeder in your area and just asking if they can tell you where to find more information on them.
Other than that, you might want to also try a website like
http://www.terrificpets.com/forum/dog-talk.asp
Where you can discuss your dogs. Just google "dog forums" for a long list of places.
Good luck. And if you find out anything, I would love to know more about it.

try the library a book on rare oriental breeds
If you have already exhausted online resources and are unable to find information on the Min-Pei dog breed, visiting a library is an excellent suggestion. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to find information on rare oriental breeds like the Min-Pei at the library:
1. Start by researching if there are any libraries near your location. Public libraries often have a variety of resources, including books, magazines, and newspapers, which can provide valuable information on a wide range of topics.
2. Once you have located a library, visit their website or call their information desk to check if they have any books on dog breeds or rare oriental breeds in particular. Some libraries may even have specialized sections dedicated to pets or animals.
3. Make a trip to the library and head to the section that houses books on animals or dog breeds. Look for titles that mention oriental breeds, rare breeds, or specific dog breed encyclopedias, as they may contain information about the Min-Pei.
4. If you are having trouble finding relevant books, don't hesitate to approach a librarian for assistance. Librarians are trained in helping users locate the resources they need, and they can guide you to specific books or sources that contain information about the Min-Pei breed.
5. Once you have found relevant resources, browse through the books, paying attention to sections that discuss rare or oriental dog breeds. Take notes on any information you find about the Min-Pei, including their history, characteristics, temperament, and any fun facts that you come across.
6. If there are no specific books on the Min-Pei, you can also check general books on dog breeds or books about Chinese or oriental dog breeds. Even if they don't have detailed information on the Min-Pei, they may mention the breed in passing or provide general insights into the characteristics of oriental breeds.
Remember, the library is an invaluable resource for conducting research, and librarians are there to assist you. Don't hesitate to ask for help, and make sure to take thorough notes so that you can reference the sources you use for your report. Good luck with your research!
