Pekingese Detailed Introduction

Pekingese, the Chinese name for Pekingese, is an ancient dog breed originating from China. From the Qin Shihuang era to the Qing Dynasty, Pekingese has been used as a pet dog in the palace and has been favored in successive dynasties for thousands of years. Due to the long-term confinement in the palace environment, Pekingese has maintained its precious pure bloodline, and also has a bit of elegant and mysterious aristocratic color. Its various improved types are widely raised in many countries around the world. In the Song Dynasty, the dog was called Luohong Dog or Luojiang Dog. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people called them Peony Dogs.

Pekingese has become one of the most popular companion pets in China. Among the ornamental pets owned by citizens, the number of Pekingese has reached a considerable proportion, conservatively estimated to be more than 30% of the total number of dogs. Except for a few professionals, most of the owners of Pekingese are ordinary people. Therefore, except for a few purebred dogs, most of them are mixed breeds. Almost all Pekingese in China are mixed breeds.

They have a strong desire to perform, are smart, lively, and love to play with people. Owners who have raised Pekingese will definitely feel that Pekingese are not stupid, and their intelligence will be reflected in various small details of life. Pekingese dogs may not be very obedient, but they are very good at ordering people to help them do things. This may be related to the fact that their ancestors have always lived among the court nobles. Their aristocratic atmosphere can make the owner unable to help but provide all services for them.
