What Chinese toy dog is also called the Lion Dog? Those that said Pekingese are correct. This dog, also referred to as the Peke and Peking Palasthund, was highly regarded and revered in ancient China. Those in China also call it the Dog of Foo. You were forced to bow to them in public or private settings. If you stole one, for any reason at all, death was the fixed punishment. Emperors and nobles had their Pekingese set up a process that made sure their Pekingese were sacrificed if they, themselves, died. They were thought to guard against troublesome evil spirits in the afterlife. They are similar in appearance to Chinese Lions so they are purported immortal guardians. They were ubiquitous in Chinese art for centuries on end. During the Second Opium War in which the British, French, and Chinese fought, the Imperial Guard were told to kill all Pekingese so that foreign troops couldn't seize them. The Chinese suspected the foreigners to be metaphoric devils. However, 5 escaped into the hands of Queen Victoria, and she named one or more, Looty. The Pekingese is closely related to the Japanese Chin in appearance. It weighs 7 to 14 pounds, and it's 6 to 9 inches at the withers. Any Pekingese that's lower than 6 pounds is a Sleeve Pekingese. There is a profusely longhaired variety, preferred in dog shows, and a short Spaniel-type version. The former has a feathery, free-flowing, and extra large coat that comes in gold, red, sable, cream, black, white, tan, and, less commonly, blue and gray. It has a small, flat, wrinkled, black muzzle. They have squat legs and a striking gait. They live 10 to 15 years, and a daily walk does them good. However, apartment living suits them fine. They're athletic and muscular so it's good to encourage their running and playtime exercises. The Pekingese often looks cute with a bow in its hair. Several Pekingese owners take them in weekly or monthly to get the legs and facial areas specially cleaned and groomed. These toy dogs are great for single people that want to baby their pets. However, this dog can become overweight with excess feeding. As always, chocolate can be deadly. The Pekingese is difficult to housebreak and sometimes refuses food to exert dominance and stoke playfulness in its master. It's obstinate, stubborn, fearless, feisty, fiery, mild-tempered, courageous, independent, and it needs daily brushing and combing to keep its fine double-coat in check. This is not a breed for children. They're solid watchdogs with a piercing, consistent bark. Its eyes are wide apart, lustrous, and bulbous dark orbs. It has a broad chest and straight back. It's a muscular toy breed that needs a lot of training and grooming. They're not great dogs for children and strangers. Pekingese can be jealous for their owner's attention.
