Looking for a Pekingese? 

Email me about the kind of Pekingese you want and please answer these questions in your email. 

  1. How much are you prepared to pay me for your Peke? (This is the smallest expense you'll have to pay in the life of your dog.)

  2. How much are you prepared to pay for your Peke during its life: food, vet bills, grooming, kenneling?

  3. Have you ever had a dog before? Have you had a Pekingese? Tell me about it.

  4. Where will your Peke live? Do you have a fenced in yard? (You need a fenced in yard.)

  5. If you have young children living with you or who visit, do they know how to care for and handle a small dog? Some dogs don't like children or people or other pets till they get used to them...and sometimes never. 

  6. Do you have other animals? If so, how many and what species? Do you think they'll accept your new dog?

  7. How will you introduce your children and pets to the new Peke? How will you try to ensure all eventually are able to live together?

  8. Do you have a dog crate in which you can separate the new Peke?

  9. Are you prepared to house-train your new Peke?

  10. What if the new Peke urinates in the house? Even after a dog is potty-trained, he may have an accident once in a while. What will you do when that happens? In general, how will you train/discipline your Peke?

  11. Is the color of your new Peke important? It shouldn't be a factor at all because color has nothing to do with personality and health and those are the things you should be concerned with first and foremost. But what color would you prefer?

  12. Do you want a male or a female? Show dog, breeding or companion only?

  13. If for any reason, your new Peke doesn't work out, you must return him to me. If within 1 month, I'll give you a full refund.

These guys found some very happy homes.

karen w-loren.JPG (166215 bytes) Karen had recently lost one of her young Peke companions, Chester, to cancer. She visited our web site, sent me an inquiry and when she didn't receive a response, she emailed me again. (The first email got over-looked.) I emailed her some pictures and Karen thought Loren looked nice. When she saw him in real life it was love at first sight. 
karen.jpg (117128 bytes) And as you can see, Loren - now renamed Teddy, got a new wonderful life in MN with gal pal, Cupid, Buddy, and another little friend.

Teddy seems to be saying to the little girl "I'll trade you my blanket for your bottle."

ZakFrame.JPG (38168 bytes) Zach sez he's ready to go to the clinic today and be 'Clinic Dog' for his owner, Dr. Lani Vincent. For dental care, Zach chews exclusively on raw sheep bones. His teeth are sparkling white.
zach.jpg (151879 bytes) Here's another picture of pretty Zach amongst some flower petals. Zach and Sox moved to Nashville.
And here's Sox...the bird dog! I gave Sox to my sister. Over the course of about 4 years, he developed a bad skin condition that was too difficult and expensive for my sister and her family to cope with. So I took him back. He stayed at my house for about a week. He fell right into our routine very well and got along just fine with the other dogs. Then Lani graciously said she'd keep him for a couple months so she could figure out a good regimine of meds and baths that would help Sox the most. Lani fell in love with Sox and when I asked her if she'd like to keep him, she said YES! This is not only a story of what a great vet and friend I have in Lani, but also of how "older" dogs can and do THRIVE in second homes. Most Pekes, and probably most dogs, are very adaptable. Don't be afraid to open your home to an older, needy dog from the Humane Society or some Rescue Group.

My good friends, Jeanne and Bob H. from Arizona lost their beloved Peke HoHo. They got him from me about 13 years ago. He lived a wonderful life with them. They took care of his every need and believe me...he had plenty! Gilda, now renamed Rosie, certainly has a rosy future ahead of her with such doting owners. 

Jeanne informs me that Rosie is enjoying herself immensely in sunny AZ. She likes going for walks and terrorizing the neighborhood bitches. She's the alpha bitch
