Love 4 Pekingese:

Temperament & Personality

• Loyal & Affectionate: Pekingese form strong bonds with their families but can be aloof with strangers. 
• Brave & Alert: They are courageous and will bark to alert their owners to intruders, acting as good watchdogs. 
• Independent & Opinionated: They have a mind of their own and can be stubborn, though they are intelligent and respond well to patient, positive reinforcement training. 
• Dignified: Despite their playful moments, they carry themselves with an air of the royal heritage they come from. 
• Vocal: They can be quite vocal, especially if left alone, due to their independent nature. 

Care & Health

• Grooming: The long, double coat requires frequent and extensive brushing to prevent mats and reduce shedding. 
• Exercise: They need daily walks but are prone to overheating due to their flattened faces and long coats, so exercise in hot weather should be avoided. 
• Health: Their brachycephalic (short-faced) structure can lead to breathing difficulties and heat sensitivity. 
• Training & Socialization: Early and consistent socialization is crucial for them to be well-adjusted with others. Patience and positive reinforcement are key for training an independent Pekingese.
