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.

Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Pekingese. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Pekingese for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Pekingese hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Pekingese used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Pekingese will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Pekingese feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Pekingese as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem. You could also try Preparing Fido, which is an amazing collection of Baby sounds designed especially to get your dog ready for the arrival of the new Baby!
