We have owned and bred Pekingese since 1973.

It started with Lady in Waiting at Dratsum who we rescued through the RSPCA when our eldest daughter, Karen, was working for them on a voluntary basis.

We took the advice of another well known local breeder, Sadie Stagg, and let 'Cindy' have her first litter of puppies after checking with the Vet that she was big enough - she weighed 15lbs, a big girl to say the least!

Her first litter to Chophoi Yuan Mei gave us four puppies and, of course, we had to keep one which we called Dratsum I Like Ya or 'Polly'.  History repeated itself and Polly had her first litter!

We came to realise that Cindy was a grand daughter of Champion Caversham Ku Ku of Yam and was descended from Jamestown and Caversham through the Belknap Kennel, we decided to introduce a new line and opted for  the Toydom Kennel owned by Misses Vandella Williams and Adele Summers .   They had some beautiful dogs and we became regular visitors.

And so it all began.....

We try to attend most breed club shows when possible and occasionally the general championship shows.
