Summary
About Pekingese
Small, solid toy dog once reserved for Chinese royalty, the Pekingese has a lion‑like mane, flat face, and long double coat needing regular grooming. Calm yet proud and independent, it bonds closely with chosen people, needs modest exercise, and serves as an alert, loyal watchdog.
About Lhasa Apso
Small but sturdy Tibetan companion once kept as an indoor watchdog. Rectangular body, dense floor‑length coat with many colors, low shedding but high grooming needs. Loyal and protective with family, reserved with strangers, alert and vocal. Suits apartments if well trained and exercised.
