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?

However, bringing a dog into the family is not always a smart thing to do. You need to make sure that both the children and the adult members of the family are ready for a furry friend, otherwise someone is likely to get disappointed over time. You also need to make sure that you are selecting the right breed and you are treating your dog in a way that guarantees your children’s safety.

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.
