Description
Pekingese are affectionate little dogs
who are perfectly sized for snuggling on their owners’ laps.
Reaching a maximum weight of 14 pounds and standing at 6–9 inches tall,
the Pekingese is surprisingly stocky and well-muscled under all that luscious fur.
Though golden coloring is most commonly associated with
this breed (sometimes with a black mask), they come in almost every shade
(though blue and gray are considered more rare for a Pekingese).
Pekingese have black eyes, typically, that are so dark
when they are looking straight ahead that barely any white is visible.
He is a brachycephalic breed, meaning he has a smooshed,
flat face framed by heart-shaped ears that hang flat.
Keeping a Pekingese looking his best requires grooming two to
three times a week (or whenever you discover tangles)
