 Contrary to popular thinking, Pekingese are not "sissy" dogs...They are just as happy running in a field as sitting on a lap. Pekingese have been known to chase rabbits, plunge into lakes, and roll in mud. The Pekingese is a tough , compact ball of energy. They are great watch dogs and have little fear. If your Peke is barking be sure that he/she has something to bark about..... Pekingese do not have stubborn streaks ---- they have stubborn bodies. When a Peke plants it's feet and refuses to move, well, you'd have a better chance of moving concrete slab. Pekingese do not take to strangers quickly ...... it is a one-family dog and can tell when someone is not part of the family. With time though a Peke will warm up to someone who comes to visit reguarly. The Pekingese is and always will be a Royal Dog....it will never be let itself be down-graded but always an equal.....although, it will concede a little for a scartch or a belly rub. |
