“Dog Breed of the Week: Pekingese” plus 1 more |
| Dog Breed of the Week: Pekingese Posted: 18 Aug 2010 03:37 PM PDT The Pekingese is a bold and hardy toy dog with an independent spirit. With a long history as the pampered companions of nobles, it's no surprise that they act a bit on the regal side. Nicknamed the "Lion Dog," the Peke can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty of China sometime during the 8th century. For many centuries, they were highly regarded by the Chinese as divine canines. The Pekingese may be small, but the breed is not at all fragile. Lift one up and you'll notice a muscular frame and sturdy build. Those who do not know Pekes well may find them a bit aloof and distant. Indeed, some of these dogs take a little time to warm up to new people. However, once you bond with a Peke, you'll see a loyal and affectionate lap dog. What do you have to say about this dog breed? Talk about your Pekingese!
