The
Pekingese is the ultimate lap dog and devoted companion. They are very small
dogs, but very furry and and fluffy. Their fur sometimes makes them look much
bigger than they actually are. Pekingese have drop ears that are medium length,
and short, flat muzzles between two protruding eyes. Equipped with short,
bowed legs, the Pekingese can get around quite well for being vertically challenged.
They will adapt to their environment and surroundings well. Even though they
have a mind of their own and like to get their own way, their independent
spirit is their most endearing characteristic. A firm hand will let them know
who is master. Pekingese are very suspicious of strangers. They are also an
affectionate, noble dog who are both self-centered and stubborn. Although
they can be suspicious, they are never aggressive toward strangers. They can
be very loving with their owners and like the attention. Pekingese are very
confident and self-willed. They have charm, dignity and purpose, but can also
be fearless when called upon. They have always been used as a companion dog,
giving affection and comfort to whoever is willing to pamper them.
