Pekingese

The Pekingese is a small, charming, and confident dog breed that exudes a regal and dignified demeanor. Originally bred as companions for ancient Chinese royalty, they possess an independent and alert nature, making them excellent watchdogs despite their compact size. Their bold and affectionate personality is complemented by a lush, double coat that resembles a lion's mane, adding to their distinctive appearance. They are devoted to their families but can be aloof with strangers and require early socialization. Pekingese are best suited for experienced owners who can provide consistent training and a quiet, low-key environment.
