The Pekingese is an ancient Chinese breed that was treasured by royalty for centuries. Small, dignified, and independent, they carry themselves with regal bearing. Despite their compact size, they're surprisingly confident and make devoted companions who bond closely with their families.
Short daily walks suit them well—they're not overly active dogs. Their long, flowing coat requires daily brushing to prevent tangles. Pekingese can be stubborn but are affectionate with those they love. For those seeking a small, loyal companion with imperial heritage, the Pekingese is classic.
