looking for other sharpei lovers

want to talk to other people who adore the chinese shar-pei. I have one male black horse/velvet mini pei .He is named after Edgar Martinez and Harley davidson and Frodo Baggins. His akc name is Edgar Harley BAggins. And he is a handful. But he is so sweet. it is hard to get mad at him. His biggest fault is he runs out without his leash on if he gets the chance. Any suggestions on how to break him of this would be helpful.
