Country of Origin:
China - Similar miniature dogs have been known in China since the T'ang Dynasty of the 8th century; supposed to frighten away evil spirits. Accepted by AKC in 1909, and in England in 1910. Originally ownership was restricted to the Chinese Imperial Court. A few were first imported into Britain in 1860 when British troopers stormed the Summer Palace in Peking and were able to confiscate 5 Pekes that were left behind and not destroyed by the Chinese.
Character:
This dog is affectionate and noble, but not particularly fond of strangers.
Temperment:
If socialized properly, this breed gets along fine with other animals. It does not like to be disturbed when resting, so it is not well-suited for homes with small children.
Coat:
Hair is long and abundant. A variety of colors is possible, but the most common combination is black and beige, sometimes combined with white.
Care
A great deal of grooming is necessary, including frequent brushing and applying powder or dry shampoo. Excessive hair around the pads of the feet must be trimmed.

All colors allowed
