Pekingese

Toy Group

There's an old wives tale that Pekingese's got their flat faces from chasing parked cars. However, the Pekingese isn't known for being very active. In fact they are content just hanging out in a quiet house. They do well as a family pet, but are much better around older children and adults. Grooming can be a deal-breaker for a lot of owners as Pekes demand weekly attention.
