Pekingese Information
Introduction of Pekingese into the Western world occurred as a result of the looting of the Imperial Palace at Peking by the British in 1860. Five of these dogs were found behind some draperies in the apartments of the aunt of the Chinese emperor. These were her own personal pets. She committed suicide on the approach of the British troops. Throughout the palace the bodies of many of these dogs were found-the Chinese killed them so that they wouldn't fall into the hands of the Caucasians.
Bringing the Pekingese into Western soil has in no way changed his personality. They have a marked dignity with great stubbornness. They love to romp around with their families, and they have a great understanding of their owners and incredible loyalty.
The Pekingese should not exceed 14 pounds. Their coats can be any color or combination of colors. They do require combing at least once a week especially if their pet coat is kept long, and will need professional grooming every 4-8 weeks depending on the desired coat length.
