Try contacting the national club or your local AKC kennel club. Information
should be available through www.akc.org IIRC, there's a Lackawanna Kennel
Club - at least I think that's what it's called. AKC would have the contact
information it along with everything else. You can search there for local
clubs or take a look at the Pekinese page and that will have other links to
follow for more contact information. This is how I tracked down my dogs'
breeder.

Or take a drive up to the Finger Lakes later this month. There's a BIG BIG
dog show at Sampson State Park in Romulus NY the 23, 24, 25 & 26. There
will surely be Pekinese breeders there. It's a combination conformation,
obedience and agility show. And, as long as they're not ready to enter the
ring, most anyone there would probably love to talk to your about their
dogs.

Information for the show is also available at the AKC website. And under
"Events" search, you can also find out the conformation show superintendent
and their web page will have ring times available for each day - along with
the numbers of each breed entered.

Happy hunting!

I recommend that you not limit yourself geographically. There are plenty
of breeders in it for the money; finding one who cares about the health
and welfare of the dog is not so easy. Take your time and research the
health problems in the breed. Learn what steps a breeder must take to
improve breed health. If you aren't taking a dog out of the shlter you
can still help by not supporting breeders who allow their dogs to end up
there. Look for a breeder who wants to make sure you are ready for the
needs of the breed, and who will remain an interested resource for the
life of the dog. If you don't feel like puptting in the effort of finding
a breeder who breeds for correct temperament and good health (and it IS
work) then you can at least avoi supporting breeders of bad tempered
unhealthy dogs by getting one from rescue instead. With an adult you
will know what you are getting.
