The Pekingese are famous for their beautiful and regal appearance because of their coats. However, keeping the coat healthy and maintaining it to be presentable is the ugly side to this. Numerous hours of combing and brushing may prove to be a chore. So a question often asked, is it really a nightmare grooming a Pekingese? The best way to answer this would be to answer other questions first.
Why am I doing this?
It is important to first realize the purpose of maintaining your dog’s coat. If you tend to participate in dog shows then keeping the coat presentable is necessary. However, if it is simply to show it off to your friends then it is not worth the effort. You have to understand if the effort that you are putting into grooming your pet would reap a far greater reward.
Show Cut or Puppy Cut?
Another factor would be to pick which type of cut is suitable to you and your Pekingese. Simply put, the show cut is the long type of coat while the puppy cut is the opposite. Puppy cut is advisable for those who have limited grooming time, live in warm areas and allow their pets in the yard or outside. The show cut is intended, as the name suggests, for those who enter pet competitions and have time to groom.
Me, Myself, or Groomer?
Next to consider would be the person who will groom the pet. If you plan to groom the Pekingese yourself, it would be less costly but would take a lot of time. On the other hand, having your dog groomed would bear quality results and less effort but would cost more.
Taking into consideration your answer to each question, what would be your answer to the original question? Is it still a nightmare?

If you would like to have a dog that is brave, independent and very affectionate, then the Pekingese is the best breed for you. These dogs are true aristocrats that love their family but are fully devoted to one member of the family. They can be good watchdogs as they are suspicious and reserved with strangers, and they start to bark if they sense something unusual happening in the house. The Pekingese love older, considerate children, but they don’t like other dogs or non-canine animals in the house around themselves.
The coat of the Pekingese is a long, plushy and straight double-coat that requires daily care. They are average shedders. These dogs like neither the too warm, nor the too cold weather, as they can easily become overheated or chilled. They are prone to health issues like breathing issues, eye ulcers and skin allergies.
Training of the Pekingese may be difficult due to their aristocratic nature. They never respond well to harsh, heavy-handed training methods, but they like rewarding and praise very much. This breed requires early socialization and obedience training.
All in all, the Pekingese is the best for families with older children living in an apartment. This breed enjoys short walks and playing sessions, but can become exhausted pretty soon.
I hope this short article will be able to help you decide whether the Pekingese is the best breed for you.

Yes, it is. It’s one of the most ancient dog breeds in the word: its history dates back to 2000 years. Back then, it was the privilege of the royal family to breed them, and so it was forbidden for everyone else.
During the Great China War of 1860, outsiders got in the royal palace and found 5 Pekingese, and took all 5 of them with them to Europe on their way back, one of them was even offered to Queen Victoria.
