Hi Diana,
Yes there certainly is decendants of those pekes in America and Canada,
and yes the bloodlines are beautifull, BUT, unless you bought these pups on a contract saying you must
breed them, then of cource you would have to do as the contract asks. But
if you bought these pups as pets only, it is nobody elses bussiness to tell you to breed them,
it is your decision, you do what you feel capable of. The Pekingese breed is one of the hardest
breeds to deal with in matters of whelping and caring for little puppies.
If you are not ready to be a breeder then please don't get into it.
Being a breeder is very expensive and with this breed can be very heartbreaking.
If your breeder (that you bought) these pups from, feels so strongly
that they should be bred, then he should not have sold them to you if he
knew you were not interested in becoming a breeder.
You cannot force people to become breeders.
Follow your heart, make your own decision, and best of luck Diana.
