Now that you have decided that the Pekingese Dog is the right breed
for you, it's time to start the process of finding a responsible
Pekingese Dog breeder from which to buy a healthy, well-socialized
puppy. Not all breeders are alike; there are good breeders - and bad
breeders. Don't be in a hurry to buy the first Pekingese Dog puppy
you find at the cheapest price available! To buy a puppy from a
responsible Pekingese Dog breeder, you may need to pay more and wait
longer. The additional money and waiting time will be well worth it.
Buy a puppy in haste from a newspaper ad, pet store or "backyard
breeder", and you'll likely also purchase a great deal of additional
expense and heartache, since you will likely end up falling in love
with a puppy with health and behavioral problems that will likely
need special care, plenty of veterinary visits, regular medication -
or even euthanasia. But do your homework and find a responsible,
caring Pekingese Dog breeder who home-raises their puppies with
love, screens their breeding dogs for health problems, offers a
health guarantee and post sale support. Choose a breeder who
genuinely loves the Pekingese Dog breed and is in it for the love of
the breed, rather than profit, and you can be fairly well assured of
getting a healthy, happy, long lived and affectionate family
companion that will provide you and your family with many years of
joy, laughter and companionship.
Further information about choosing a responsible breeder...
Here are a few breeder directory sites that we very highly
recommend. These sites endeavor to screen advertisers to ensure that
the breeders listed are responsible and sell only healthy,
home-raised Pekingese Dog puppies to carefully screened buyers.
There are many, many sites now online that advertise dog breeders -
many are a Mecca for puppy mills and backyard breeders. We recommend
that you steer clear of these resources in favor of sites that are
more selective in the breeders whom they allow to advertise.
We Highly Recommend:

puppy over the first days or weeks, you should at least have a clue
