The Pekingese
The Pekingese is a small dog breed of Chinese origin, known for its distinctive appearance, with a flat face and compact body. They have an ancient history, dating back to Imperial China, where they were bred as companion dogs for Chinese royalty. Pekingese are known for their courage, dignity and loyalty. Despite their small size, they have a strong personality and can be quite independent. They are alert dogs and can be excellent guard dogs, alerting their owners to the presence of strangers. They have a double coat that requires regular brushing to avoid tangles and keep the coat healthy. They can also be prone to health problems, including respiratory problems due to their flat face shape, eye problems, and skin problems. Additionally, as they are small dogs, they can be sensitive to heat, so it is important to avoid strenuous exercise.
