Whilst Pekingese can

Grooming
Pekingese benefit
from daily brushing. Additionally, check the skin folds for ticks when
brushing.
History
Pekingese can be
traced back thousands of years, to the Chinese Change dynasty. They were
prized royal animals, with commoners not allowed to own them on pain of
death! Lucky things change!
Positives
Pekingese have a
naturally outgoing personality, and are a playful household companion.
They are compatible with many household types.
Negatives
Because of his
natural self-confidence, the Pekingese can get himself into situations
with bigger dogs that he can't easily get out of! So he needs to be
watched around other dogs.
