The Pekingese is a well-balanced, compact dog of Chinese origin
with a heavy front and lighter hindquarters. They are small dogs
but are not to be considered delicate or dainty. Their image is
lion-like, implying courage, dignity, boldness and self-esteem.
They can be any color.
Chinese art throughout the ages, starting with the Tang dynasty of
the 8th century, abounds with images of the Pekingese, who gets his
name from the ancient city of Peking, now called Beijing. Pekingese
were held sacred in ancient China and could only be owned by
royalty. At that time, the punishment for stealing a Pekingese was
death. Pekingese came to Europe as a result of war. When the
British overtook the Chinese Imperial Palace in 1860, they returned
home with several of the dogs.
