New Breed?: Chinese Pekie
 

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?

Here's the latest. This is all too suspicious. Here is what I sent her when she said her dogs were shaved:

Well, I'd love to see pics of her sire/dam anyway! Can you send me pics please? I'm fascinated by this new breed!

Thanks! "


And here is her reply:

"Sorry but I'm not sending pics of my dogs that are stripped. If I can get their hair to grow out enough
before it ends up in caios from being around the farm then I'll take pics of them and post them
on my website.
I've got a sale pending on Princess.

Thanks,
Nancy"

I am chinese and I have never heard of it lol..It is probably like Chocolate Yorkies, a different colour and they just give it a new name to sell for a higher price.. Don't know?

Hmmm..... I'd steer clear regardless, she's got way too many breeds and can't even spell out Pekingese?!?! Whatever:rolleyes: :laugh:

Maybe it's crossed with a Chinese Crested?

Is there a such thing as the American Canine Registry?

Never heard of that one:p

its most likely a mixed breed of some sort

here is a link to the acr http://www.americancanineregistry.com/default.html
I would not buy from this lady i mean if she was so speacial why is she elling them for so cheap? I think it's a hype to get it started for her. Well if it's just a cross breed between a peke and a yorkie everyone can do it what makes her so speacial? I would contact the ACR and notify them of this and see if this is an accepted breed also if not ask them if they know this breeder and why is she usining there name to sell her dogs?

why would you not send pics of the sire/dam??? hmmm sounds suspicious to me too

Most likley because one is a peke ad the other is a yorkie so how could she have pics of the mix in adult hood? I'll bet anything that is the case and thats why she woun't show you because she doesn't have an adult yet. Also the pic on her site is so small you can barley make it out and you can't even right click on her page to blow up the pic real fishy

this is absolutely ridiculous. how can this dog be a registered breed?? i think she is just bsing you. i found that picture of princess on many for sale sites. I would not trust this lady at all. she probably won't show you the parents because amber_lv is right, one is a peke and the other is a yorkie. another designer breed dog here, aka a mix or a mutt (term used lovingly)

Yes, but why wouldn't she just say that when the alternative is to look deceiptful. She never claimed to not have one...she claimed that they were "shaved" and then she said she wouldn't send me pics of them "shaved". Huh?!

I did contact ACR by e-mail, but as I mention in another thread, I'm beginning to suspect it isn't a legitimate organization for registering purebreds and neither is the BYA organization mentioned either. I think it's a cover created by the owners of Class Act to give some false legitimacy to their breed.

Sorry I do not want to be rude. I love all animals really! But I would not buy a mix dog, there are already so many at the shelter and at the pound. Anyway, this was not intended to offend anyone but I am completely against people that interbreed different type of breeds and then come out with exotic names to make extra money on mix!

Ha ha!!! Her reply to my suggestion that this is all very suspicious:

"Hi Kelly,

I don't find it suspicious at all but then I guess since they are mine, I can do as I please with them and
sell them as I please. Since there were 6 in the litter and I'm down to 2, I'd say I'm doing just
fine in the sales department.
Why don't you email ACR and see if they register the Chinese Pekies instead of take what you ASSUME
to be true from an apparent un-updated website.
I went through the NON-BELIEVERS when I imported and started registering the first German Biewers
too so I'm used to folks like you.
Am certainly glad that she won't be going into your judgemental hands.

Have a good day as I certainly will."

She would say this because suckers are a dime a dozen and most people wouldn't question it. I to think she is associated with both registries to make herself legit because if you notice on the ACR site they are giving away FREE REGISTRATION FOR 2006 this is from their siteAmerican Canine Registry is having a 2006 Breeder Appreciation Promotion. To thank our previous breeders and those expected to start registering with us ACR is giving FREE dual registrations (restrictions apply) and FREE Litter papers for the year 2006.

We could think of no better way to say Thank You for your past loyalty and to encourage others to try ACR for their registration needs. SEE DETAILS HERE!

Be sure and check out our NEW Puppy Paper program.

Easier for you - FREE to the breeder!

What legit registry would ever do this? Trust me people like that would lie through their teeth before they would ever get busted because if she says they are a peke and a yorkie that throws her whole business off this breed in the garbage

EDITED TO ADD: i really think she has started this registry

By the way, in a follow-up e-mail, she claims to have been the first person to bring over the Biewers from Germany. Wow! You'd think if she was the first that she would have a well established "kennel"...as it is, she can't even produce a picture of this new breed. To quote her: "it was ME who got them recognized in the United States and brought the first ones over just as it is ME who now has found the Pekies and am doing them"

She's also threatening to sue me for posting about her here or anywhere on the internet and that there is a new law this year that protects her from "idiots" like me. Anyone else aware of a US law that protects one individual from another individual's constitutional right to Free Speech? If there were such a law, wouldn't that be - I don't know - UNCONSITUTIONAL???
