I'm Shirley D., the breeder behind Socrates Canines located in Pasco County, FL. I have an excellent Pekingese stud dog which I supply to other responsible breeders to produce outstanding puppies. I am very conscious about who I offer my stud services to and always ensure that each pairing will produce healthy puppies with great temperaments and structure.
