About the Pekingese:
Pekingese information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

The Pekingese is affectionate with its family sometimes to the point of jealousy. They are aloof with strangers and make good watchdogs. They are very independent and stubborn and can be difficult to train. They are not aggressive but will not back down from a fight, even with much larger animals. They can be good with sensitive children but will not tolerate rough handling. They tend to become sedentary indoors and should be encouraged to exercise daily.
