Reader's Comments on the Pekingese Dog
Added on Nov 20th, 2009
Now that I am on my third Pekingese, I only wished I would have found or knew what I know now about this breed. My sister was a breeder and got me hooked on them. My Caz was my first. She was a fawn color with a black mask. She was fearless. She loved to play soccer and was very good at keeping the ball from you. She liked to swim across the pond and sneak in my neighbors pet door and play with her Yorkshire terriers. Caz did not understand that a white carpet was not good after a muddy swim across the pond. About one year later I got Caz a brother (Zac). She loved him and he did her. She played and nurtured him like he was her puppy. They both got along very well with other dogs. True they are smart, playful Very cute and entertaining. Yes very stubborn. I love to watch them walk.They look like a big hamster waddling along. Never say the word Walk around them unless you are ready to put on the leash and go for a walk, I had to put my Caz down last December due to her heart. My sister was on her death bed and only responded to me (which surprised everyone) when I told her I would watch and take care of her Bonnie until she came home. She opened her eyes, reached up and took my hand. The nurse said she had not responded for over 24 hours. She died a few hours after she knew her last Pekingese had a good home. Now Bonnie and Zac have a good loving home with me and my two Pekingese. I only wished Caz was still here to be with us. I love this breed. So many people use this breed to make other popular breeds. Cute Begins with Pekingese.
