Pekingese
Toy · 7–14 lbs
An ancient Chinese breed, the Pekingese was held sacred by the Chinese Imperial Court and could only be owned by Chinese royalty — ordinary citizens who stole one faced execution. The breed was introduced to the Western world in 1860 when British forces looted the Chinese Imperial Palace during the Opium War and brought five Pekingese back to England, presenting one to Queen Victoria.
The Pekingese is an ancient, regal companion dog with very low energy needs (30/100) and a dignified, independent personality best suited to adults and seniors. Extremely difficult to train (40/100 trainability) with a stubbornness score of 85/100, this breed requires patience and consistent grooming — and care in hot weather due to breathing sensitivities.

Common questions answered before you buy
No — the Pekingese is best suited to experienced owners. Their trainability scores 40/100 and stubbornness hits 85/100, making them one of the more challenging breeds to handle. They're intelligent, but on their own terms. Without firm, experienced handling from the start, they will run the household. First-time owners often find them frustrating and overwhelming.
The Pekingese is a lower-energy breed that does well with around 30 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise daily. They're content with short walks and indoor play. That said, don't skip exercise altogether — even low-energy dogs need daily movement to stay physically and mentally healthy.
Moderately. The Pekingese sheds a noticeable amount, especially during seasonal coat blows in spring and autumn. Weekly brushing significantly reduces loose hair around the home. Grooming effort for this breed is moderate. The Pekingese needs brushing several times a week and occasional professional grooming every few months.
Generally yes. The Pekingese scores 60/100 on friendliness — warm with people they know, though they may take time to warm up to strangers. They do reasonably well with children when raised with them. Early socialisation and proper introductions are key.
The most frequently reported health concerns in the Pekingese include Brachycephalic syndrome, Eye conditions and Spinal issues. Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file. Budget for annual vet visits and consider pet health insurance from puppyhood.
Yes — the Pekingese adapts well to apartment living as long as their exercise needs are met. They don't need a large yard to be happy. Daily walks and exercise sessions (around 30 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise daily) keep them calm indoors.
