09 Pekingese
Pekingese carry an air of royal nobility and display little enthusiasm for strenuous athletic pursuits. Their rolling bowlegged gait makes long cross-country treks impractical and tiring.
A couple of brief 10- to 15-minute strolls around your garden or neighborhood satisfy their daily physical requirements. They prefer observing household activity from a quiet, elevated vantage point.
Their heavy lion-like coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, especially around the neck and hindquarters. Keep them in cool, shaded spaces during hot summer afternoons.
Pekingese develop strong bonds with their primary caregivers while remaining aloof with strangers. Their quiet, independent disposition makes them well suited for quiet adult homes.
