( Francesca 5 months old. )
Known as the "lion dog" in China, the
Pekingese has been a symbol of good luck in China for hundreds of years. Only
members of the Chinese court could own a Pekingese, and they first came to the
attention of the outside world in 1860 when the British overran the Summer
Palace. Courtiers had killed all but five of the dogs so they would not fall
into outsiders' hands. The remaining five were brought to England where
they were an instant hit.
Today the peke is a
loyal, devoted, and protective little dog. The Pekingese makes a good watchdog.
He is also lively, affectionate, and spirited. Bred to be a lapdog companion, he
fits well into the smallest accommodation. He enjoys being petted and fussed
over and makes a good pet for older children. A great dog for the couch potato,
he requires minimal exercise. The Peke is independent, self-centered, and proud.
He can be stubborn, and he likes to get his own way! His owner will need to be
firm and strong and have lots of patience. Training can be a challenge, and
socialization should begin early as the Peke is naturally suspicious of other
dogs and people.
