Lynette, You need to do a lot of thinking and research before making any decisions about breeding your dog. The "ad" you posted contains no helpful information to allow someone with a bitch to believe you know what you are doing or that your dog is of breeding quality. "AKC registration" means absolutely nothing concerning the quality of your dog. The AKC is a registration only, and as long as whoever bred your dog filled out all the right forms stating that its parents were purebreds of the same breed (whether or not this was actually true), the dog is registered. A puppy mill dog who has to be euthanized due to severe genetic defects has the exact same "papers" as a Westminster champion. You need to provide some independent, objective facts that show that your dog is better than the zillions of generic Pekingese dogs (notice spelling of the breed) and that his genes would make a significant contribution to the continuation of the breed’s evolution. Dogs don’t "have a little fun." They don’t "make love." They breed, which is a biological impulse. It isn’t a weekend in the Poconos, and they don’t miss a thing if you don’t breed them. Breeding them results in PUPPIES, which have to be safely carried and delivered, raised to the appropriate age, safe homes found, and the breeders make a lifetime commitment to being sure those puppies are always safe, healthy and happy. How old is your dog? It is generally recommended that no dog be bred before he/she is two years old. This allows for all the necessary genetic testing to be done. What this includes for Pekingeses I am not sure, but some examples of things that are likely are hip x-rays sent to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, eye exams by a CERF associated ophthalmologist, heart, thyroid or allergy screenings, bloodwork for diseases such as von Willebrands…you need to know which are needed for your breed. Whether your pups are intended as show dogs or companions, the health is of the utmost importance. What does your dog’s breeder think? That is your best source for advice, information and contacts. Also, join a local Pekingese club, the national club, and/or a local kennel club. Get involved in showing or in obedience or some other dog related activity. Then you will meet people who have Pekingeses and will be able to find him a mate that way, rather than rolling the dice on the Internet. You want to be very careful who you allow to breed to him, if you breed him AT ALL. Be sure the bitch has all the same health clearances you get (and that you both have all those which are necessary) and that she is a good compliment, both physically and temperamentally, for your dog. There are a LOT of Pekingese showing up on the rescue groups lately. There are just too many generic, ill-tempered, unhealthy little pups out there. Don’t add to the problem. Do a lot of research and learning, then decide whether to breed your dog.

Jeremy When I first read your post I felt sure it was a troll but after seeing that you actually included your telephone number – which I presume is a real number, then I must gather you are serious. From the post anyone will gather that you know little or nothing about dogs, let alone the breeding of them. Do you not realise that your stud can "catch" some diseases from a bitch brought in for breeding? Do you think you can just throw them together in the back yard while you have a beer and he has "his fun"? Don’t you know she might kill him if he tries to breed her and she is not wanting to be bred? Do you know that if they do manage a breeding that they may tie for up to an hour? What if she decides the breeding is not for her after the tie and they are alone. Do you think while she drags him all over the yard while tied that he is having fun? Do you think it will be fun when he starts seriously marking all his territory including your furniture after he has been bred. Will you be glad he had fun after he starts trying to escape constantly because he can smell another bitch in season – and yes, Jeremy, they can smell a bitch in season up to a mile away. What is all this fun you speak of? After paying hundreds of dollars to make sure he has passed all genetic testing to make sure he has not got anthing which can be passed on to puppies, do you think breeding dogs is easy? Even with small ones, it can sometimes be quite a battle. And what kind of bitches are you likely to get with an ad like the one placed here. Have you ever seriously done anything with this dog to gain some idea as to his worth as a breeding stud dog? Anyone with a decent bitch is certainly not going to be looking on the internet for a stud dog. Do yourself and your dog a favour. Get him neutered and enjoy him for the lovely boy he is and don’t labour under the false idea that he "needs some fun". This is purely something "you" seem to want for him. I doubt he really needs all that trouble. Liz >~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~<~<~<~<~<~<~<~<~<~<~<
