Non-Hypoallergenic

The Pekingese is not considered a hypoallergenic breed, so it may not be ideal for people with dog allergies.

Hair Shedding

Pekingese dogs have low shedding, but regular brushing is important to keep their coat clean, soft, and free from tangles.

Diet & Lifespan

Lifespan:

Male: 12–14 years

Female: 13–15 years

Diet:

Pekingese dogs are prone to overheating, so a cooling vegetarian diet can be helpful. A suitable diet can include chilled curd, boiled cucumber, and soft-cooked rice. This helps keep their internal temperature stable and can reduce irritation around their skin folds.

Size & Weight

Size: 6–9 inches

Weight: 7–14 lbs

Behaviour Specification

Pekingese dogs are loyal, calm, confident, and dignified. They often carry themselves with a royal attitude that makes them both charming and amusing.

They usually form a strong bond with their primary owner and prefer a peaceful home environment over a loud or overly active lifestyle.
