A little about the Pekingese
The Pekingese is one of the oldest dog breeds in existence, originally belonging to Chinese royalty. The mane-like hair around their face meant they were referred to as 'lion dog'. Whilst they make the perfect breed for apartment living, and are dedicated to their owner, they can be jealous of strangers, other dogs and children.
PEKINGESE HEALTH INFORMATION
The Pekingese are predisposed to the following health conditions: Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, Patellar Luxation, Disticiasis, Trichiasis and Skin Fold Dermatitis. Due to the conformation of their face the Pekingese also suffer from Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome (in particular stenotic nares and elongated soft palates). The severity of the syndrome is linked to the severity of their conformation.
