Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Peke, Lion dog
A dignified little lion who expects to be treated as royalty
The Pekingese was bred as a palace companion in China and still carries itself that way - proud, loyal and a little stubborn. It needs only gentle exercise, but the long double coat and flat face call for daily coat care and careful heat management.

Best-matched service
About 30 minutes of gentle walking a day is enough. Avoid heat and strenuous activity because of the short muzzle.
They are best suited to homes with calm, older children. They dislike rough handling and can react sharply if lifted or grabbed.
Daily brushing prevents mats in the long double coat, and a professional trim now and then can help. Facial folds need regular cleaning too.
