No, a female sleeve peke should never be bred.Explained below.

Although It is a recessive gene not all pekes carry this gene, even if you bred a sleeve male to sleeve female you still can produce a normal size peke as each puppy would have a different set of genes and the two recessive genes may not meet up. For a sleeve female to carry a litter of normal size fetus is very dangerous for both her life and that of the fetus.

Does anyone know anything about this?? Any
>information would be helpful

We have had 2 bloodlines that would produce sleeves but out of each litter only one of the puppies was a true sleeve the other puppies were of normal size. All female sleeve pekes should be spayed but the male sleeve pekes can be used for stud as they will cut down on the size of the pekes, alot of kennels that have larger pekes 12-14 lbs will on occasion use a sleeve male to cut down on the size but will not necessarily produce any sleeves when doing so.
