I came across an add for a "new breed" called "Chinese Pekie". The breeder claims the pups are ACR registered, but ACR doesn't even have this breed listed. Is this a legitimate breed? The available dog is adorable, but I'd like to know what he/she should look like when he is older. I seem to be getting the runaround from the breeder, who references the breed on its site, but without any clickable links:
http://us.1.p10.geocities.com/class_act_kennel/ . I sent an e-mail asking for pics of the sire/dam and this is what I received:
"Sorry all of mine are shaved so you would get no idea at all as to what an adult would like from mine. Hopefully their coat will grow out before it gets to hot enough for me to take pics.
We live on a farm and their longhair is not conducive to farm life so we keep them shaved.
Basically they look like Princess just in a bigger body."
Also - Does anyone else find it strange that the senders e-mail address is @americancanineregistry.com? Or that they advertise on the ACR website? Is there a such thing as the American Canine Registry?

I guess I'm curious what she will look like as an adult. I went to your website and there are no images of adults chinese pekie's on your website, nor can I find photos elsewhere. Can you please send me photos of Princess's dam/sire?
Thanks.

Hi,
The only information you are going to find is the information on
my website unless there happens to be a Chinese Breeders site
out there that has something on them.
We went to China to obtain our dogs.
http://www.geocities.com/class_act_kennel
We will sell her with or without breeding rights but be advised unless
you go to China to get a male to breed her with you probably won't
find one inside the United States to do it with. We do not do stud service
and are only 1 of 4 breeders in the United States with Pekies at this time.
Without breeding rights at the GREATLY REDUCED PRICE is a wonderful deal
for somebody wanting one as a pet. We will enforce the pet contract and
the spay/neuter agreement.
Thanks,
Nancy

I'm interested in Princess, your Chinese Pekie. Can you send me a
larger (or additional) photo of her? Can you tell me more about the
Chinese Pekie breed? I tried a google search and all I'm finding are
your ads for Lester and Princess. Can you direct me to other webpages
that feature details regarding this new breed?
