Buying a Pekingese
Buying a Pekingese is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of temperament does a Pekingese typically have?
They are usually loyal, dignified, and somewhat independent, often bonding very closely with one or two people. Many are affectionate lap dogs but can be reserved or aloof with strangers and may show a stubborn streak, so patient, respectful handling is important.
Are Pekingese good apartment dogs and how active are they indoors?
They adapt very well to apartment living because they are small and generally have modest exercise needs. Short daily walks and some indoor play are usually enough, but they should not be overexerted, especially in warm weather due to their flat faces and heavy coats.
What special grooming does a long-haired Pekingese coat require?
The long double coat needs thorough brushing several times a week to prevent mats, especially behind the ears, under the legs, and around the hindquarters. Regular trimming of the feet and sanitary areas, plus routine eye and face cleaning, helps keep them comfortable and reduces the risk of skin and eye irritation.
What health problems are common in Pekingese dogs?
They are prone to brachycephalic airway issues, eye injuries and ulcers, early-onset arthritis, and back or neck problems due to their body structure. Patellar luxation, dental disease, and skin fold infections are also seen regularly, so ongoing veterinary care and weight control are important.
How sensitive are Pekingese to heat because of their flat faces?
Their short muzzle and dense coat make it harder for them to cool themselves efficiently, which raises the risk of heat stress and breathing difficulty. They should be kept in a cool environment, exercised during the cooler parts of the day, and never left in hot or poorly ventilated spaces.
Are Pekingese suitable for families with children?
They can live with calm, respectful children, but they generally do not enjoy rough handling or noisy, chaotic environments. Because of their small size, fragile backs, and tendency to guard their personal space, close supervision and careful teaching of children are essential.
Do Pekingese get along with other pets?
Many coexist peacefully with other dogs and even cats if they are introduced carefully and their space is respected. They can be somewhat proud and may not tolerate pushy or boisterous animals, so matching them with calm companions and managing introductions is important.
How difficult is it to train a Pekingese and are they stubborn?
They are intelligent but often independent and can lose interest quickly, which some owners interpret as stubbornness. Short, positive sessions with gentle consistency work best, and harsh methods or constant repetition typically cause them to shut down or resist.
How much exercise does a Pekingese really need each day?
They usually do well with two or three short walks and some light playtime, totaling around 30 to 45 minutes daily. The focus should be on gentle, controlled activity rather than intense running or jumping, which can strain their back and breathing.
What should new owners know about caring for a Pekingese’s eyes and face?
Their prominent eyes and facial folds need regular attention to prevent irritation and infection. Wiping the folds and under the eyes with a soft, damp cloth, checking for redness or squinting, and seeking veterinary care promptly for any changes can prevent more serious problems.
