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.

    Although we initially had reservations about working with a breeder, Jim effectively allayed our concerns and made the entire process remarkably straightforward. He consistently provided updates on our puppy, ensuring a seamless experience. We are truly grateful for the exceptional service that made our experience outstanding.

    Jim was absolutely wonderful to work with. He kept us updated and was responsive to our questions. We received a beautiful well socialized puppy that exceeded my expectations. I will be calling for a 2nd girl very soon.

    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.

    Jim was great to work with! He quickly answered all texts I sent him. He sent pictures of our puppy and updated us on how she was doing. He was always friendly, open and forthcoming. By the time we picked her up, I knew he was a kind, compassionate man and breeder who loved his puppies and wanted the best outcomes for them. I had never dealt with a breeder, therefore I was apprehensive about going that route at first. Jim quickly dispelled any concerns I had just by his communications. We love our new puppy, Lola. We feel so fortunate that we found Jim and Lola through Good Dog!

    I am so glad to have found Peke Lovers of Texas! Jim has been so easy to work with: he answers questions kindly & fully, gives update photos & videos of the puppies, and made pick up at the airport smooth. He & his wife clearly love their dogs and it shows. Our puppy is smart, confident, playful, healthy, snuggly and brings us so much JOY! She adapted to the Minnesota very quickly and really enjoys bounding through the snow. (For anyone contemplating flying with your puppy: It couldn’t have gone better for us. She slept the whole flight long.)

    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!
