Pekingese
The Pekingese originated in China over 2,000 years ago, bred as lapdogs for the Chinese imperial family. Pekingese were considered to be symbols of royalty and good luck, and only the wealthy and powerful were allowed to own them.
This breed possesses a sturdy build and a distinctive flat face, with a lion-like mane of fur around their neck, a broad chest, and a curled tail that rests over their back. Their coat, available in various colors including red, cream, black, sable, and parti-colors, is long and dense. The Pekingese generally has low to moderate energy levels and appreciates short walks and play sessions. They adapt well to apartment living and do not require a large yard.
