Q. & A. with Jim
Why did you start breeding?
owned many years before breeding and like with grandchildren we love having them & playing with them, but also enjoy our quiet time when they return home. It's the same with these puppies we enjoy raising. Breeding has allowed us to experience that joy of playing with them as the so rapidly develop and watching their individual personalities develop
What makes your program special?
The primary benefit of our program is the socialization the puppies experience versus those puppies raised in a kennel environment. our puppies are handled daily and raised with other dogs both pekingese and at a older age with our bigger Yellow Labrador. they get to interact with these other animals as well as multiple people from infants to adults experiencing a variety of sounds and multiple voices as well as handling.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, fawn, red, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Diva is our most experienced mother. All of her babies have been white, a few with fawn markings like their Daddy, Dudley. She is fiercely protective of her babies.

The upcoming litter with Dexter will be her first with this sire

Jim is an extremely patient and reliable breeder. Since the very beginning, he never failed to answer my questions whenever they have come up. And he didn't have any problems being transparent about how the process will go.
Jim is also very flexible and open to suggestions and regularly offers advice as needed. I really appreciate working with him. I also felt that he took great care and effort in being collaborative in how to handled things.
Whenever he speaks about his Sires and Dams, his affection for them is obvious in his voice. I could tell from the first moment on that they were treated really well, like furry family members. And Jim spoke fondly as he describes each one's great and unique personalities. So I felt confident that whichever puppy I got, would inherit one too.
Now that I have taken my new little one home and have gotten to know her. I've found her to be such a sweetheart and so well behaved. She instantly blended into our family as if she's always been here. Because she is well socialized, she automatically knew to follow the example of the other dogs here and has already used the pee mat without much prompting and direction. She loves to cuddle in my arms or sit underneath me when she's sitting on the floor, or she will either lay on one of the dog beds around the apartment or one of the folded dog blankets that I have in the living room.
This week she took some interest in rolling a ball. I love how focused she looks whenever she's doing things. She's so cute. I love her sooo much already and I just met her.
My experience with "Peke Lovers of Texas" has been great. Anyone who is seriously interested in giving a new home to a wonderful furry baby, I would recommend checking out "Peke Lovers of Texas" / Jim R out first.

We recently brought home the most adorable little girl from Peke of Texas, and we couldn’t be happier! From the very beginning, Jim was incredibly kind and helpful. He sent us pictures as she grew before coming home. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more special. When we picked up our puppy, Jim thoughtfully provided us with the food she was already used to eating along with all the necessary paperwork to get our puppy registered and certified.
Our puppy is healthy, happy, and absolutely precious—truly the perfect addition to our family. We are beyond pleased with our purchase and would wholeheartedly recommend Jim and Peke of Texas to anyone looking for a loving, well-cared-for companion. Thank you, Jim, for making this such a joyful journey!

I found Jim very easy to work with. We picked out little Sascha before she was even born. Beings we lived outside of the country, we could not pick her up until she was 12 weeks old. Jim took loving care of our little girl and kept us updated on her progress. He worked with his vet to make sure all of the testing, vaccinations and paperwork was in order. He dropped off our little girl at the hotel and I flew her back home the next day. I would highly recommend Peke Lovers of Texas.

I couldn't be happier with my new pup. He is a loving, happy, healthy little guy who has really brought joy to our household. He just had his 10-week checkup and got a clean bill of health! Jim was great throughout the adoption process, answering all my questions quickly and sent pictures of my pup at my every request. It was a real pleasure to work with Peke Lovers of Texas. They really care about their dogs and puppies and do a great job of getting them ready for their new home. Highly recommend!

Jim was amazing to deal with! He stayed in constant communication with me, sent weekly pictures of my dog until I met him at the airport in Dallas. Cannot recommend this breeder enough and his pups are amazing!
