The Pekingese is a little dog with a lot of dignity. Loyal, calm and a bit stubborn, it suits people who want a devoted lap companion. Here is what to know before you decide.

About the Pekingese

The Pekingese was bred for centuries as a companion to the Chinese imperial court and is sometimes called the "lion dog" for its mane-like coat. That royal background shows in its confident, self-assured attitude.

  • Size and weight

    The Pekingese size is small but solid. Adults stand about 6 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weigh up to 14 pounds. They are heavier than they look, with a sturdy, low-slung body.

  • Temperament

    The Pekingese temperament is loyal, affectionate with family and reserved with strangers. Pekes are independent thinkers, not people-pleasers, so they can be stubborn about training. They make alert little watchdogs and tend to bond strongly with one or two people.

  • Energy and exercise

    Pekes have low energy. A couple of short, slow walks and some indoor play each day are plenty. They are happy to spend much of the day relaxing near you, which makes them a good match for quieter homes.

  • Grooming and shedding

    The long double coat sheds quite a bit and mats easily. Brush several times a week, check behind the ears and legs for tangles, and keep the face folds clean and dry. Many Miami owners keep their Peke in a shorter "puppy cut." This is not a low-shedding breed.

  • Lifespan

    Pekingese typically live about 12 to 14 years.

Is a Pekingese right for your Miami home?

Be honest about the heat. The Pekingese is a flat-faced (brachycephalic) breed with a heavy coat, a combination that makes it very heat-sensitive. In Miami, a Peke needs air conditioning, very short walks in the early morning or evening, and should never be left outside or in a car. Watch for loud breathing or heavy panting and cool your dog down right away.

Caring for your Pekingese puppy

Housebreaking a Peke takes patience. Use a consistent schedule, take your puppy out after meals, naps and play, and reward every success. Puppy pads can help in a high-rise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Petland Miami have Pekingese puppies for sale?

New puppies arrive at Petland Miami every week, and any Pekingese puppies in stock show first on this page. If you don't see a Peke today, call (305) 363-6959 or use the inquiry form, and a Pet Counselor will check with our breeders for you. Families who love the Pekingese also look at the Shih Tzu.

How big does a Pekingese get?

A full grown Pekingese stands about 6 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weighs up to 14 pounds. Pekes are small but sturdy and heavier than they look. Their compact size makes them a good fit for Miami condos and apartments.

Can a Pekingese handle Miami heat?

A Pekingese does not handle heat well, because its flat face and heavy coat make it hard to cool down. In Miami, keep a Peke in air conditioning, walk only briefly in the early morning or evening, and never leave it outside or in a car. Petland Miami's Pet Counselors can suggest breeds that handle heat better.

Are Pekingese good with kids?

Pekingese are best with adults or older children, because they dislike rough handling and their prominent eyes can be easily injured. With gentle, calm people they are loyal and affectionate. If you have toddlers, ask a Petland Miami Pet Counselor about sturdier small breeds that suit young families.

Do Pekingese shed a lot?

Yes, Pekingese shed a fair amount, and their long double coat mats easily without regular brushing. Brush several times a week and keep the face folds clean. Many Miami owners choose a shorter puppy cut to make grooming easier and help the dog stay cooler.

Is Petland Miami a Pekingese breeder?

No, Petland Miami is a pet store in Kendall, not a Pekingese breeder. Our puppies come from USDA-licensed breeders with no direct violations and select hobby breeders, named on our Petland Cares page. Miami-Dade County requires the breeder's name and address for every puppy, and you can ask to see it.
