Pekingese: Puppies, Adult Dogs, Breeders And Adoption
By:
Published: May 22, 2007
Mickey's pal Pluto had a girlfriend named Fifi the Peke. Theodore Roosevelt's daughter had a pet named Manchu, and Hugh Hefner's girlfriend Bridgit has a barking accessory named Wednesday. What do all of these paparazzi-pursued animals have in common? The status of pure-bred Pekingese.
British soldiers discovered the favorite pet of the Chinese Emperor's Court in 1860, when they attacked Beijing's Summer Palace. It wasn't long before this loyal and dignified lap dog was all the rave among Western dog fanciers. Now Pekingese is one of the most popular breeds of toy dog, and its varied coat colors can be seen in almost any city in the United States.
Pekingese are instinctively well-behaved, and thus easily trained. Perfect as a man's-best-friend kind of companion, this breed is very loving with their masters yet suspicious of strangers. Since they have been known to bite when agitated, Pekingese are generally not recommended for families with young children. Socializing with other animals is rarely a problem for these small dogs. They don't require much exercise, weigh just seven to sixteen pounds as adult dogs, and grow a high-maintenance coat of hair, making these wide-eyed pets most suitable for indoor apartment and suburban environments.
There are several available routes to take when choosing a Pekingese. The first option is starting out with a puppy. Puppies are not hard to find for sale, as breeders are happy to capitalize on the popularity of these pets. Next Day Pets is an online database that lists over one hundred and eighty Pekingese puppies for sale. It is always wise to request references from breeders before signing the deal on any puppy.
Although Pekingese puppies are generally easy to train, especially compared to some of their toy dog counterparts, that doesn't mean they train themselves. Puppy owners should be prepared to housebreak, promote word acquisition, and provide a consistent daily routine for their new companions. Investing in obedience school or a do-it-yourself training book will help make the experience positive for everyone involved.
Busy professionals and elderly adults with low energy should consider finding an adult Pekingese for sale. This eliminates the 6-month to 1-year learning curve of puppy training. Adult dogs need only to form attachments to their new master(s). To search for owners, pet shops, and breeders by zip code, check out the website Doggies.com/Pekingese.
A heroic way to invite an adult Pekingese into the home is by volunteering to adopt. Michigan Pekingese Rescue and Northeast Pekingese Rescue, Inc. are two venues that rescue pekes from shelters. Death, divorce, and poor show quality are factors that can land a perfectly lovable dog into a lonely kennel. Rescue dogs are generally already spayed, neutered, and vaccinated, decreasing the initial cost of purchasing a pet. Since the conditions leading to their adoption vary, some pekes require some basic training work and may take some time to adjust to their new home.
Pekingese lovers who are incapable of providing a long term home for a dog can be of great help by fostering a rescue dog. It's much healthier for a peke to be cared for in a home, rather than snarling and snapping in a shelter, while waiting for adoption. A couple weeks to a couple months can make a difference in an adult dog's wellness, and will no doubt be significant for the host.
