All about breed Pekingese

Animal lovers know that a friend is not better than a pet dog. There are different breeds in the world, and each of them is different in character and habits. There are fighting dogs, there are yard dogs, and there are companion dogs. These include the Pekingese. This is a very smart and caring pets.

This breed appeared in ancient China. There, the owners of such dogs were emperors or the highest nobility. Puppies were fed cow's milk. In the imperial families Pekingese was considered a sacred animal. He protected the house from thieves and evil spirits. As a sign of respect and reverence, each such dog had a servant who courted her.

In Europe, the Chinese Pekingese first appeared after the defeat of Beijing in the Second Opium War. They became a gift to Queen Victoria as a sign of the deepest worship.

Pekingese looks quite extraordinary. A flattened nose, an unusual face, long hair make this dog look like a cub or a little monkey. And only a proud posture reminds us of belonging to a higher society.

Thanks to their qualities, dogs gained fame outside of Buckingham Palace. In the United States, even the first Pekingese club was organized, in which only important persons and their pets were registered.

The progenitor of an unusual breed became the Asian wide-mouthed toy. Scientists, having made DNA, determined the relationship of Pekingese with such breeds as shih tzu, pug, papillon, chihuahua, even wolves were involved in the formation of the breed.

Having existed for many centuries, this breed has not lost its main characteristics. Pekingese and today looks the same as before, except that dogs have become a little heavier in weight and slightly lower. Today, Pekingese growth can range from very large to very small. Dimensions have also changed. People buy puppies and do not think about standards, unlike real breeders. Due to the fact that there are lovers who care about the purity of the breed, the history of the Pekingese thoroughbreds continues.

People deliberately brought these pets in order to entertain their owners. The Pekingese retained such a purpose: they remained affectionate, playful and intelligent.

Dogs are devoted to their owners. And they love absolutely all family members equally, unlike other breeds (for example, toy terriers). Despite his small stature, the dog will throw at the offender or begin to bark loudly until the enemy leaves.

In response, the pet requires increased attention. They need to caress and pamper. The dog loves to play, and short paws are not a hindrance. But this does not mean that this breed needs to move a lot. Pekingese adapt to any conditions. And if necessary, they will wait patiently for the owner to take the time and take him for a walk. Therefore, these little dogs can live both in the apartment and in the big house.

Like other dogs, Pekingese has various crossbreeds. They look like Pekingese, but can be with an elongated muzzle. The origin of this dog can tell us nothing. It is not about the newly bred breed, but only considered a whim of the owners. Remember that it is not allowed to bind dogs with strongly differing sizes.

For dog lovers, Pekingese is considered ideal.At first glance, he meets all the requirements that can be presented to a domestic dog. This breed is not aggressive, loves to play, tied to the owners.

In principle, every breed of dog that is meant to live in a house has similar features. People choose dogs by the call of their souls. And yet, in order not to be disappointed in the choice, it is necessary to carefully study the quality and character of the breed.

The advantages include several features.

• First of all, it is a fun attractive appearance. No one on the street will pass by your company without smiling. From one kind of people uplifted.
• This breed is very rarely sick. With good care, the pet will not cause any problems in this regard.
• Pekingese has not only an attractive appearance, but also different watchdog qualities. He will give a sign if thieves are taken to you. His sensitive hearing and intransigence to strangers will allow you to sleep peacefully.
• This breed of dog does not freeze in winter. She does not need special conditions for a walk. Warm wool will not allow your pet to freeze. It can be safely taken to the country.
• Pekingese quickly do not get tired on walks (like bulldogs) and can with you for a long time to frolic and run. You don’t have to carry a dog that is tired and no longer wants to move on its own.

The Pekingese have some characteristics that are not related to minuses, but they are also difficult to attribute to pluses.

• The dog, in its essence, is initially spoiled. This feature is in her genetics. Impact of imperial origin. You will always have to praise and iron her. Do not forget to give a tidbit to your pet, otherwise he will be offended.
• Pekingese require attention from the owner 24 hours a day. Pet will be with you always and go for you everywhere. A kind of tail. Someone this can be annoying.

Cons, which also need to know.

• The Pekingese are prone to various injuries due to their clumsiness and tight build. They can easily fall from a high sofa and hurt a paw.
• The head of the dogs of this breed is very massive, with rather large eyes. They have a convex shape. This is a weak spot. Pekingese cannot injure the head. As a result of a blow from a pet, an eye may fall. This may happen for another reason. For example, as a result of a nervous breakdown or a strong overstrain.
• These pets are susceptible to other eye diseases. From severe stress, they can go blind. Most often this occurs in old age.
• Dogs do not tolerate strong heat because of the thick coat. They start to choke, and under the scorching sun it is better not to walk them.
• Overweight is another drawback. Pekingese are beggars in the kitchen and can eat large amounts of food. The result will be obesity. And from here will begin various concomitant diseases.
• But the main problem is molting. Thick long hair stays on carpets and on the floor. She may fall to pieces. If there are allergies in the house, then it is better to refuse such a pet.
• The peculiar smell is one more minus. Pekingese problematic to bathe because of the thickness of wool. Therefore, when it is raining outside, it is better to leave the tail house. Long wool "will collect" all the dirt from the street. By the way, in good weather, dust in large quantities clings to the dog's coat, which then crumbles at home on the floor and carpet.
• Pet will have to constantly treat fleas and ticks with a special compound. In such a scalp parasites infest very quickly. Ticks can crawl from the dog to the owner. Therefore, carefully check the whole body of the pet after the walk.
• Pekingese very jealous. And if in contrast to him there will be another pet or a small child, he will begin to get annoyed. True, it will look funny and not at all aggressive.
• Because of the specific structure of the nasopharynx, this breed is prone to snoring.At night you will hear the characteristic rather loud sounds. Another pet will sneeze loudly, making a characteristic noise when eating food and sniffing. Someone thinks it is funny, but someone will start to annoy.
• Another problem is loud barking. But if you teach your pet to silence, then this problem can be eliminated. Remember that this breed has good intelligence and understands the owner's commands.
• Food for this dog is a kind of ritual. Therefore, it must be fed in a special way. But again, it all depends on how you will raise your dog. Try to teach him not to pick and choose.

And remember that dogs of decorative breeds almost always do not feel their size. They can fight a fighting dog. Dogs are particularly prone to such behavior. therefore Watch your pet for a walk, otherwise everything can end in tragedy.

A lot of time has passed since the appearance of the breed, maybe that is why this species has undergone some changes. It is now assumed that the Pekingese are divided into species. But this is far from the case. In order to understand what is at stake, you need to know a number of nuances.

This is not an isolated species, but only a simple variety. The fact is that dwarf dogs can appear in the litter and in fairly large individuals. It is believed that this is a rejection. Such representatives are not allowed to the exhibition.

Some say that it is possible to determine a small height only when the puppy is 8 months old. Other breeders say that babies are born very small and in the process of growth they lag far behind their fellows, although they have an excellent appetite and are very mobile.

By and large, this deviation is not out of the ordinary. Having bought such a pet, you will appreciate its quality:

• babies are very clever - they understand human gestures very well and are very friendly;
• the small height of a domestic dog is rather a plus than a minus.

Some breeders proudly call their pets "royal" or "imperial." They do this in order to sell puppies more expensive. These Pekingese and so were withdrawn to communicate with the emperors. Therefore, purebred representatives look graceful.

And if you already touch on the standards, then it should be noted that There are no varieties among the Pekingese. This is just such a breed.

Some people confuse Pekingese and Japanese Chin. These breeds are very similar. They look like a lion. Previously belonged to the emperors, but not only Chinese, but Japanese. Ordinary people could not even look in the direction of the Khins. They were also honored and associated with religious customs.

The profile of this dog is snub-nosed, and the colors are various, but most often it is red, fawn and shades close to these colors. The nose of this dog is black and is flush with his eyes, and his eyes are outlined in black pencil. The coat is long, silky. Small weight - about 3 kg. Large head fits body size. The tail is laid gracefully on the back. Wool nicely falls on the back to the floor.

Now it is necessary to say about half-breeds. They appeared as a result of mating different types of dogs similar in external data. The colors of such representatives are different. From red to black and white. And even there are short-haired and smooth-haired half-breeds. But we must remember that there can be no talk of any standards here. On the various exhibitions, where there are the most purebred representatives, you need to forget the same way as about breeding, if you decide to have a hybrid dog.

The most popular cross is a pickup truck (a hybrid of a Pekingese and a spitz-dog). Dogs are smart and playful. But do not tolerate loneliness. There is a cross between Pekingese and Pug.Cute dog, which has absorbed all the best from both breeds. When the dog breeders tried to connect the Shih Tzu and Pekingese breeds, they hoped to influence the elongation of the coat. Puppies have incorporated the best qualities. They practically do not fade and differ appeasable character.

Pekingese phlegmatic. However, each dog has a certain attitude and character. These individuals have increased self-esteem, natural aristocracy and self-esteem.

Any dog, especially a Pekingese, will try to occupy a dominant position in your family. This should not be allowed. Strongly, but not roughly, you need to put the baby in place.

Tailed are very devoted to their owners. They love comfort and try to take a better place next to the household. Spoiled pet will not be embarrassed and, head down, run to the bowl of food. He will proceed to the food gracefully.

They need to be strictly brought up from the very beginning. Otherwise from such pets grow very wayward dogs. If he doesn't like it, he will hang on a leash, bringing himself to suffocation until he achieves what he wants. It is necessary to try by all means to wean the tail barking for no reason.

• Defiantly ignore a guilty dog. Try not to notice, do not look into the eyes and do not caress. The Pekingese are very smart, and your pet will immediately realize that it has been guilty. A physical impact can badly affect the psyche of a puppy.
• By the way, dogs of this breed are perfectly trained and understand the commands.
• Pekingese by nature stubborn. Therefore, try to ensure that your pet performs the task. It takes a lot of patience.
• It is advisable not to leave your pet alone for a long time. If he gets bored, he can crush the apartment. However, if you properly educate the dog, everything will be fine. She will patiently wait for you from work and calmly go for a walk.
• Although they write that the breed is not suitable for beginners, still you should not be afraid to start this animal. Each animal has its own individual character. And remember that everything depends on education and training. In bad hands, even the calmest dog can turn into an uncontrollable monster. And if you are full of determination and really want a Pekingese, then do not give up your plans.
• Pekingese do not need long walks. It is enough for them to change the situation for a while and stretch their legs a lot. Stay with them, and this dog will not need anything more than you.
• Companion dog is perfect for people with a measured rhythm of life or retirees. She understands from the half-word of her master, is not very playful and walks excellently on a leash. Tail brighten up your pastime and entertain when you get bored.

First of all you have to decide and understand what purpose you are getting a puppy. There may be several answers. And they will depend on the answer to the question of how to choose a puppy.

If you buy a puppy for the subsequent breeding of this breed and participation in exhibitions, then you need to contact the owner of a good cattery. So you will avoid cheating.

A breeder will not make a deal with a conscience for two reasons. One of them is a high puppy price and reputation. If he will deceive clients, then people will stop contacting him.

Another reason is the provision of a puppy with all the necessary documents that will confirm his pedigree (puppy card, stamp). Without participation in exhibitions and without membership in the club of dog-breeders the breeder can not get permission to breed animals of elite breeds.

A healthy and strong puppy should be free from defects: the correct position of the elbow joints, the correct bite, the location of the tail, the length of the coat and coloring. If you are buying Pekingese for the first time, then you will not be able to notice the flaws that may be present in a puppy.

The stamp and documents can give a small but guarantee that you get a purebred puppy. Carefully inspect the room in which the young are kept. It must be clean. Serious breeders are watching for proper care and will not allow unsanitary conditions in the places where the dogs are kept.

Look at the parents of your future pet. They should look appropriate.

Experienced breeders always teach puppies to the toilet and self-feeding, make the first vaccinations. The animal must be fully prepared for sale, before you give him a considerable sum. And these are the main conditions that an honest seller complies with.

You are not going to be a Pekingese breeder and participate in exhibitions. You need a beautiful friend. Pekingese breed has long attracted your attention. You want to buy a dog that you like, just walk with her for a walk and enjoy living together with him.

For these purposes, you can buy a puppy from people who are not engaged in special breeding of Pekingese. To the beloved animal was not deprived of all the joys of a dog's life, they sometimes happen to him with an animal of a similar breed. Puppies from such parents may well meet the necessary standards or differ only slightly from them.

In order to choose a healthy puppy, take him in your arms. So you can determine his physique. Inspect the future pet. A healthy animal will be active, the wool should shine.

Important: visit before buying several nurseries. This way you can evaluate and compare their level of content. As you begin to examine the animals, pay attention to a number of nuances.

• Nose future friend should have wide open nostrils. It is this form of nostrils that will make Pekingese breathing easier. On walks with fast walking, these shortcomings will affect the health of the dog.
• Eyes should be set wide apart (look at them from the front) and be in line with the bow. The lower jaw should bulge forward, not back.
• After seeing the puppies and choosing the one you like, take it in your arms. Your palm should be at the level of the abdomen, which should not be large and inflated (the only exception may be the fact that the puppy has just eaten). In other cases, the huge size of the abdomen may indicate the presence of worms or any diseases.
• On the back Your future pet should be not only bones (they can not bulge strongly in a healthy animal), but also muscles. Remember that a little dog should not be thin. Khudoba talks about improper feeding and grooming, or that the animal has a disease.

So you made a choice! So that your pet does not get bored, take a small shred where the smell of the mother's nest will be left. Of course, the puppy will be in some shock from what is happening. Therefore, put a clean cloth on your knees, place a pet on it. Constantly pass your hand over the head and back. So you make it clear that you are not going to harm him. Gradually, the animal will calm down and feel much more comfortable.

And before you make a final decision, read the following information. You should not buy Pekingese in the following cases.

• You already have pets (dogs, cats).
• You have small children.
• You do not like vanity and loud barking. Pekingese dogs are very restless and will always make a fuss (with or without cause).Even the most strict upbringing will not help here.
• You do not like wool. Pekingese has a thick cover and shed heavily. Wool at this time will be everywhere. Therefore, it will need to constantly clean.
• If you are very sensitive sleep, then you will be difficult to adapt to the strong snoring of the animal. Due to the specific structure of the muzzle, the Pekingese make quite a noise during sleep.

Like any dog, your pet must be named, that is, get a nickname. Picking it up, remember that you will call your pet by this name every day for a long time. So, you need to choose a nickname that you will like, and even admire the people around you. So you and your pet will show your individuality.

If for some reason you don’t like the name, and you want to rename your pet, then this will be quite problematic.

For a nickname to look perfect, pick a shorter name. So your dog will begin to perceive it faster, respond to the voice and certain sounds. And one more argument: dogs understand short commands perfectly, therefore a not very long name will have to be by the way. But the nickname should not be consonant with the various teams.

If you want to come up with a name to your liking, think about the things (life moments) that were pleasant to you. This is where it comes from. And if nothing occurs to you, then use the ready list of nicknames.

Pekingese content is practically no different from the content of dogs of other breeds. Is it only that you need to take into account the presence of thick hair and the peculiar structure of the bow. Taking into account these nuances, try to create a pet maximum comfort.

First, select a permanent place where the tail friend will sleep. Do not take a puppy with you in bed. Dogs get used to this comfort quickly, but to wean them will not work. Especially Pekingese, who are very stubborn and persistent in nature.

Dogs of this breed should not be overheated in the sun. They do not tolerate the hot season. Therefore it is necessary to get air conditioning to improve the conditions of detention. And, of course, do not carry a pet in the heat in your car. And if there is such a need, take water with you and water the dog as often as possible.

And if newborn puppies are under the care of the mother, then you will have to look after the grown up Pekingese yourself. As soon as the puppy appears in your house, determine to him a place where he can go to the toilet.

Naturally, to teach the dog to the tray with rude actions will not work. You only intimidate the pet, and he will no longer understand what the master wants from him. Therefore, act carefully. Remember that puddles on the floor for a small puppy - this is quite normal. You yourself wanted to make a friend, so be patient.

Move the puppy to the tray as soon as you notice that he was going to make a puddle. Do it gently, but aggressively. As soon as you achieve the result, be sure to praise the baby. If the tray is far away, bring the newspaper. Let the pet spell the need for it. Gradually, he will get used to the fact that you need to go to the toilet on a special bedding.

Despite the fact that you managed to teach the dog to the tray, do not refuse to walk on the street. They are necessary dog ​​always and at any age. Frequent walking the pet will have a beneficial effect on his health.

It is not necessary to wear clothes for a walk. Pekingese can not be called bald animals. They have a very rich undercoat. But if you want your pet to look special, you can wear it as you see fit. If it is cold outside, then a warm jacket will not hurt your dog.

Immediately it is necessary to make a reservation that it is not necessary to feed an adult dog low-quality, cheap dry food. They are very bad for the health and condition of the coat. This food is made from waste with the addition of various chemicals.

If you are concerned about the health of your dog, from early childhood feed your puppy natural food. Remember that a puppy, as a child, needs good and good nutrition.

Meat must be thermally treated (especially for puppy feeding) as well as by-products (liver, kidney). This food may contain pathogenic microbes, so it is best not to risk it.

Even in the daily diet should be cottage cheese, eggs (both boiled and raw - protein), boiled fish. Dairy products are not contraindicated, but given reasonably.

Do not exclude fruits (bananas, apricots, pears) and vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers). But eliminate sweets. Wool falls from them, and diathesis appears. Water should be in constant access.

Together with natural food, your puppy should receive vitamins and mineral supplements. For their correct choice, ask for help from a veterinarian.

When this question is raised, it is necessary to immediately say about the wool, which in Pekingese is very long and thick. She needs special care.

Combing solves many problems:

• the dog will look neat;
• she does not have mats, they are very large.

It is necessary to be engaged in combing 2-3 (and even more often) times a week. The number of procedures depends on the quality of animal hair. If it is very thick, with a good undercoat, then the number of manipulations with the comb should be increased.

Try to carry out all actions calmly, not to make sudden movements so that the animal does not experience pain. It also happens that the animal is very negative about this procedure. Then you can mow the pet. Do it yourself, or ask for help from a specialist. Especially this procedure is necessary in the summer. Excess wool contributes to overheating of the animal. When combing yourself, treat carefully the body parts such as the sides, the belly, the tail and the tail.

A very unpleasant, but necessary procedure for a dog is the cutting of claws (performed with special scissors).Usually the Pekingese take it easy. But if the pet is nervous, then ask for help from a veterinarian.

Dog water treatments are positive. For bathing, use warm water and a special shampoo that will make the wool softer. After bathing, dry the hair with a hair dryer. If the dog does not want to dry or is afraid of a hairdryer, do not insist. Otherwise you will scare the animal and it will get stressed.

Very often you need to inspect the ears and fur behind the ears. Comb out her excess. Pekingese behind the ears often appear mats. In summertime, a tick can crawl. Therefore, be attentive to this part of the body.

Nice to look at a well-groomed dog. Daily eye care is necessary for the prevention of various eye diseases that dogs of this breed are prone to. To remove accumulations and traces around the eyes, use a special clean cloth dipped in water. Various cotton swabs can not be used for these purposes!

Plaque can be removed with stale bread. Give it to the dog periodically, and your pet will get rid of unpleasant odors and keep its teeth.

Pekingese owners say that they are confused by very loud snoring and rather thick fur. In this regard, the dog of this breed brings a lot of inconvenience to their owners.

But if you have strong nerves and good sleep, you may not notice snoring. The problem with wool can be solved by careful and constant brushing or regular haircut.

Some breeders say that Pekingese individuality is lost when shearing. However, then you acquire purity in the house. Thus, the animal does not suffer from your irritability.

Other owners remain delighted with their dogs throughout their lives. They unanimously claim that a best friend for a lonely person cannot be found. Pekingese just do not communicate with people in their language.

They are amenable to training, always come to the rescue. Despite the small growth, the Pekingese will protect the owner, not paying attention to the deadly threat. He will not let the thieves down. Lift "on the ears" of all neighbors. On the site where the Pekingese lives, there is no burglary. The tail will bark at strangers as long as they are close to their home.

One girl wrote that she was presented with such a tail guard as a birthday present. Since then, he guards the house. It can even grab the leg of a man who came without an invitation.

One villager wrote that her Pekingese carefully avoided planting beds and flower beds. Pet understands that they grow useful plants that loves the hostess. When a woman weeds the beds, her faithful dog lies nearby and slumbers.

One grandmother even said that she was collecting the hair of her pet, and then she knitted belts from her, which are good for radiculitis. All her neighbors wear miraculous gifts on the lower back and get rid of unbearable pain.

Another elderly woman said she was knitting Pekingese wool socks. They relieve the cold and pain in the feet.
