Tommi was bred by Harry Aldrich,Seng Kye Pekes,of Chico,Ca..Ch.Isaiah was his g.son.Ch.Margo his daughter,and Tashma of Tom Thumb his daughter.I bred  to Isaiah.I always produced this type with this breeding.Tommi was later sold to Ruby Dudley where he went on to sire over 25 Champions.

This is Ch. Margo.Small but 10 pounds_ A peke is to look small weigh heavy.That is why Judges lift them in the ring.Margo is nine here,out of coat and standing on an old metal TV Tray.
When I , at age 25.started raising Pekingese in Eugene, Oregon,I was raising my 3 children and though I did not know it then,how lucky I was,To have my Mama (from Texas) living in her mobile home on my property over 20 years.
At first I knew everything of course,and I did not learn,but with Irene as my Mentor and Evelyn as my main handler,I sold Pekes to the Elite Of the Peke world.I even sold one to Richard Thomas Sr.(The Walton's,John Boys Father)The Peke then, had more leg and was smaller.I love this breed and Never thought a Pom would save my life,But now,I like the panting,little brats,but  put a few of my Pekes here for all to enjoy.
I was a member for years of The Rose City Pekingese Club in Portland,Or..I was Editor of their widely circulated Newsletter.I was also a Member of Eugene KC for many years.
I  wrote some for Pekingese Parade,and was in the WHO"S WHO in Pekingese,in Peke parade.
I worked very hard at trying to breed the very best Peke I could
I bought and imported a  Pekingese from the famous Alderbourne Kennel in England.

I would like to remember my first Pekingese was solid Champions in 5(all but one Peke) generations.I bought him at 6 years,his name was Ieka's Little Tom Thumb,A silver.fawn. Thus my Kennel Name,Tuffy was mostly Jalna.I was lucky to meet "Miss Jalna" Zara Smith,at about 70 years old,as Melvin and Anne Samek took the Jalna kennel over.They bred To Toughy's son Dominic and Got Ch.Jalna's Tyna and bought Jalna's Caesar of Tom Thumb from me.I thank them for letting me stay every time I came To Bremerton,WA. to show,and what fun when they stayed with my family for Eugene Shows.We all did that in Pekingese.The Samek's,both School Teachers lived on Whidby Island,WA..Thank You goes to,Sing Lee,
Irene and Otto Ruschhaupt (Sing Lee) for picking me up and taking me to dinner in San Francisco and trusting me to dog sit for 2 weeks while they went to France.Italy and Venice.And Lloyd Stacy for paying my way to fly first class to San Francisco, to keep an eye on his fabulous English Import English,American/Canadian BIS,BISS Peke Ch.Alderbourne Lifu Of Remward,I even got to Show Lifu once..Judge and Breeder Dorothy Quigley(Orchard Hill) for seeing a Tom Thumb Peke at the American Peke Club In New York,And saying" I know who bred this dog,by his beautiful head."And Frank Sabella for his showing Isaiah,and his compliments,also on his head,and short back.
I will always love the Pekingese as it was then.I hope they get a bit of leg back with the new standard.
This from memory.So hope I do not mess up.It was some time ago.
