What are Pekingese like?

The Pekingese is a loyal and affectionate companion. They see themselves as important and are very dignified. This small dog can be quite stubborn but once someone has earned their respect, they have a loving friend for life. If an owner does not earn the respect of this small dog, the Pekingese will run the house. A Pekingese is also very smart and can easily be trained once the owner has earned his respect. Pekinges are food driven so a little bit of dog treats will go quite a long way with these little guys.

These small dogs are extremely brave, independent, yet are also sensitive, so take care when disciplining so that their feelings are not crushed. They make great watchdogs, as they will bark at anything they think is out of the ordinary if they feel it threatens them or their family.
