FAQs

Are Pekingese good family dogs?

Pekingese dogs are generally not ideal for families with young children or very active households. They are small, can be vocal, and tend to be stubborn, requiring an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and socialisation. Pekingese prefer a quiet environment as they do not tolerate rough handling well and may be defensive, making them better suited to calm homes without many other pets or young children.

What is the leading cause of death in Pekingese dogs?

The leading cause of death in Pekingese dogs is trauma, which is common among small toy breeds. They are also prone to neurological and cardiovascular defects and suffer from health issues related to their brachycephalic faces, such as breathing difficulties, eye problems, and skin allergies.

Why are Pekingese dogs expensive?

Pekingese dogs tend to be expensive due to their purebred status, the need for reputable breeders who undertake health screenings to reduce genetic issues, and their grooming requirements. Prices from breeders typically range from around £650 to £3200, with top-quality pedigrees potentially costing more.

What breeds were used to create the Pekingese?

The Pekingese is believed to have been historically bred by crossing the Tibetan Spaniel with native Chinese dogs. This breeding produced their distinctive flat face and lion-like appearance, as they were originally bred to serve as royal companion dogs in China.
