Pekingese haircut: types and detailed instructions

Pekingese are very cute and intelligent creatures that are very popular. As well as representatives of other breeds, these dogs need proper care. Pekingese need a competent haircut, without which their appearance can deteriorate markedly. Today we will examine in detail what types of haircuts for these pets exist and how they can be made, based on detailed instructions.

Before proceeding directly to the peculiarities of Pekingese haircuts, you should familiarize yourself with the description of this known breed.

So, the Pekingese is one of the oldest breeds of decorative dogs. The history of these lovely animals has more than 2,000 years. A dog of Chinese descent, Fu, a little lion, has long been perceived as one of the breed lines of dogs belonging to the Chinese imperial court. In those days, such pets were forbidden to keep ordinary people. Only the emperor and his family members were entitled to this.

Currently, the Pekingese are not raised to such a high rank, but are no less popular and attractive. Because of the unusual external data - a gorgeous lush mane, huge shining eyes, a fluffy coat and an oddly shaped face - these pets really look like lions, but in miniature.

Of all the representatives of the decorative breeds, it is in Beijing dogs that there is the longest and good quality hair. In the home, this feature brings a lot of inconvenience and hassle. Pekingese fur coat is double and is characterized by high density. It consists of an undercoat and fairly long guard hairs. Since these dogs have an unusual brachycephalic shape of the muzzle and such a rich fur cover, they are very difficult to withstand the effects of high temperatures.

Grooming should be carried out not only for hygienic purposes, but also in order to give the animal a more well-groomed and neat appearance. So, a haircut under a small lion can make the animal truly original and very attractive. Such a decision will further enhance the similarity between the Pekingese and the king of beasts. There are other interesting haircuts, for example, "under the puppy." Such options can make Pekingese more sweet and touching in appearance.

At the same time, it is required to leave a sufficiently thick and lush mane on the head of the animal, which should be framed as carefully as possible. The rest of the hair on the body of the pet is required to shorten.

In order to repeat the image of a monthly dog, an adult Pekingese will shorten the hair to 3 cm along the entire length of the body. In this case, the shape of the lugs is usually made “soft” - oval. If everything is done correctly, in the end, the pet will look much "younger" and more touching.

Pekingese wool needs competent and regular care. If you neglect such procedures, the pet will quickly lose its visual appeal and will look sloppy. Required to do the following.
