Dogs 101 - PEKINGESE - Top Dog Facts About the PEKINGESE
The Pekingese is a breed of toy dogs originating in ancient China. The breed has been around for at least 2000 years, and has remained remarkably unchanged in all that time. While there are some interesting legends related to the origins of the breed, given its vintage, factual development history is nearly impossible to trace. It is believed that the characteristic appearance of the breed has its basis in the exalted status of the lion in Lamaist Buddhism. For hundreds of years, only the nobility were permitted to own these ‘lion dogs’, and the dogs were even treated as royalty themselves at the height of their popularity. It was in 1860 that the breed first came to England, when five of these dogs were found among the loot from the Imperial Summer Palace. Patronage from Queen Victoria helped the breed witness growing interest from fanciers. The Pekingese reached America via England and also as gifts given to influential Americans by the Dowager Empress of China. Recognition from the AKC came as early as 1906, and it has remained a popular companion dog ever since.
Time for some Ruff Trivia:
- Which of these is a term used for dog breeds originating in China that resemble Chinese temple guardian lions?
o A: Pei Dog
o B: Foo Dog
o C: Fay Dog
What do you think, give it your best guess in the comments below before we get to the answer! Hang on tight and we’ll get back to this Ruff Trivia Question toward the end of the video.
The height range for the adult Pekingese is 6 to 9 inches, with weight reaching a maximum of 14 pounds. It's a dog of compact build and pear-shaped body, with a heavy front and lighter hindquarters. Its image is lion-like, implying boldness rather than daintiness. The double coat is made up of a thick undercoat, and an outer coat of long, coarse, straight hair that stands off and forms a mane around the shoulders. The skull is wider than deep, with wide set eyes, broad lower jaw, and heart-shaped ears set on the front corners of the topskull. A wide range of coat colors is acceptable, but the exposed skin of the muzzle, nose, lips and eye rims is almost always black.
Grooming:The Pekingese sheds a lot and requires daily brushing. This also helps prevent matting. The wrinkles above the nose should be cleaned daily to prevent dirt buildup. The coat about the buttocks is prone to soiling, and should be cleaned daily to prevent infection. Brushing of teeth, trimming of nails and cleaning of ears has to be regular.
Temperament:Pampered like royalty for ages, the Pekingese is a confident, self-important dog, even termed ‘opinionated’ by its owners. It is devoted to its family, but not particularly demonstrative. It can be playful, but is generally not exuberant enough for children. It is also a bold animal, and suspicious of strangers, making it a good watchdog. These dogs get along quite well with other dogs, cats or other pets.
Training:The Pekingese is known for its stubborn nature, and early reward-based training is important for dogs of this breed. Its moderate exercise needs are met easily with a play session indoors or a walk, making it a perfect apartment dog, but it can be a little difficult to housebreak and requires patience.
Health:Life expectancy for the Pekingese is 13 to 15 years. While a healthy breed, there are some concerns that arise because of its body structure. These can include trauma, breathing problems and heat stroke. Heart related issues and skin allergies are also some commonly occurring problems.
Regal in heritage and manner, the Pekingese is a good-natured and confident dog. Its grooming and training might take some patience, but it gives back with oodles of loyalty and affection.

Mine is 7 in November, I got her to celebrate one year of being clear of cancer - 6 years ago. She is my constant companion, absolutely the love of my life. She was born on the day I got the all clear. I wouldn't be without her, Pekes are awesome pets and companions.
Mine LOVES to be brushed, use dust buster, listens well, doesn't beg for food, will go to a room given the command, loves to snuggled and sneeze in your face! LOL
You are lucky!
Wow. Mine loves to be brushed, but does not listen well and he begs for food. He is a snugglebug though!
Jo LAKE complete opposite with mine.
I have a pinkness Yorkie mix a yorknees I love her so much!!! She looks more like a Yorkie but acts like a pinkeees
I guess my Pekinese didn't watch this video since it states life expectancy is 13-15 yrs. She's 21 yrs old!
That's impressive. Mine died month before she's 16 birthday :(
Mine passed at 11 after Christmas
Well done for taking good care of them.
My boy was 17
Wow! 😮 Do you feed her anything special? Any secret tips? Would love to know and really appreciate the advice for the future of the rest of us dog owners out there. 😊

Lost my Pekingese last summer. He was 15 years old. He was so mellow and easy going. Until we meet again , Matty.
This breed is absolutely brilliant, such personalities. I've bred and shown them and adore the breed but they are somewhat of a worry to own. Eyes are very prone to damage and they can have back trouble and go off their legs.Also hearts are sometimes iffy and heatstroke is a real threat. I do not think that they are a dog for the novice owner and that coat is stunning but a challenge to keep anything like decent which is essential otherwise they would be an awful mess but there is nothing quite like them. Beauty and personality personified.
This and shitzu breed are absolutely adorable
Harrison Kessler yesssssss i have one
I am proud to say I'm chatelaine, maid de chambre, true and faithful servant to three of these little rascals! I have the 3 of them one month- mother, father and son,,,,, and I'm crazy about them! If someone had told me I'd have a toy dog, a Pekingese, and me a die hard Rottweiler owner I would have said they were mad!
I have a Peke and a Shih-Tzu. Love them both so much! ❤️
I think I’m getting a Pekingese for my birthday so excited
I got one for my birthday a couple years ago and needles to say their the best gifts you can get
They are the most loving dog
Tricky Woo.
My Pekingese doesn’t give a s**t about anything

I have a Pekingese at home in Australia and she was on the streets but she’s so cute

@@marycaruso4485 yes indeed pekingese pugs and french bulldogs have the most awesome personality and character

A fantastic breed! Had one growing up and didn’t adopt another for a few years. Now my pek is my best friend. Agreed that maintaining the coat is hard. Mine likes to roll around and get himself dirty so I get his hair cut short so he’s able to do all the fun stuff. Also snuggles are something they love. Very clingy to the person they love the most. Definitely consider adopting from a shelter aswell! Black Pekingeses are very prone to not being adopted. You’ll absolutely adore these dogs
I have a peck ..very mischievous dog .always ready for travel ..but very loyal 😘😘😘
1:48 isn't that a wool felted doll version of a peke (not real?).
I'm looking for a Silver Sable or Black Female Pekingese in the Washington DC area .... does anyone have one for rehoming? Dec 2018
Yes! Go call the shelters, I know there is one there!
@@JL-iu7fk jo Lake no there are none in the shelters... been looking for YEARS. Actually my elderly mother and I went twice and both times they said it's not a pekingese on one trip and on the other they had already given it to a rescue group.
I have a puppy and he's stressful as heck.
To the creators of this video...
You are giving out misinformation.
Pekingese do not shed a lot!
If the Pekingese has a correct coat, it dumps it all at once, 1-2 times a year.
And, you do NOT give a Pekingese daily brushing, as this could potentially damage their long coat.
Thank you for this information I want one but i need to know if it’s ok for me so I’ll go to a different video on one
Exactly. I’ve watched a couple videos where they say a Peke sheds a lot but I haven’t had that experience at all. My Peke barely sheds and like you said, only sheds maybe twice a year and even then it’s not a big deal. I’be seen another video that suggests clipping the hair above their eyes so they can see well but this is also incorrect. Their fur above their eyes does not grow long. It naturally stay short. Their ears grow and their fur beyond their face will grow but their face and top of their head stays short. They’re perfect for those people who don’t want a lot of hassle with clipping. My Peke also rarely mats. Sometimes around their ears but hardly beyond that and I do not brush him daily. He wouldn’t put up with that, lol.
They are wonderful! Merry little personalities but not for the novice because of the care you need to take of their various health needs. Lovely though and adorable. I used to show and breed. Loads of love and loads of fun but some worry
Perambulating carpet slippers!

I don't know how they can be called toy dogs. Mine was always too lazy to play with anything. She also strongly disliked all other dogs, cats and goldfish.
Toy dog refers to their small size
@@bigphish1398 Mine had no concept of size, as a doberman, boxer and pit bull would tell you.
@@christianpatriot7439 Mine went next door and bit the Pit Bull on the nose drew blood and ate it's food then came home,The Neighbor came over said My dog had 3 at the time bit his pit bull and stole it's food I said who the biggest one? He said that little one lol
@@MissouriHippie One day when mine was with a neighbor who had a boxer and a pit some snacks were given out- each dog was put in a separate room. But, then mine went through the house carrying a snack with the pit trying to take it away from her- he was just trying to steal what had been stolen from him.
Because they are emperors and dislike peasants. 🤞

foo dog?
It's from "Lion Dogs of Fo." There were no lions in China, yet they considered lions the exemplification of courage. The pekinese was said to once be a much larger dog and they were bred to give the coat the appearance of a lion. Eventually , they bred them down to a size that could be companion dogs for the Emperor and his family. Some were bred down even further so they could be carried in the huge sleeves of his coat. They were believed to be the eyes and ears of Buddha. So they were not just Royal, they were part of their spiritual beliefs as well.
