True to his description as a lion dog, the Pekingese has a noticeable mane on the neck and shoulder area, with the coat on the rest of the body being somewhat shorter. While it should be long and profuse, the coat should not obscure the shape of the body.

Are Pekingese dogs good pets?

Pekingese are very loyal and affectionate.

Bred to be close companions to Chinese royalty, these dogs bond very closely with their humans, making them wonderful house pets. They're especially well-suited to loving families where they can avoid any rough play.

How much is a Pekingese puppy?

As mentioned above, you can expect to pay between $750 and $3,000 for the average Pekingese dog price. Of course, more than likely the breeders you run into will set their Pekingese puppies' price closer to the $1,500 to $3,000 range.
