| Chandler a big dog in a small body |
Chandler is good with children if the child is taught to respect the animal. He does not like to be awoke from a deep sleep by a child pulling their hair. He also sometimes get a little nippy if a toy is taken from them. Chandler will only bark if there is something to bark at. He never bark just to be barking. Chandler do not like the heat. ====================================== Pekes generaly live to be around 14 or 15 years, however there are known cases of them living to be 18, 19, and even 20 years of age Generaly speaking pekes get along well with other animals if socialized. Socialization is a must for any breed. Pekes can be stubborn, therefor it is sometimes hard to house train them. If you let them know whos boss they learn faster. |

| The Pekingese breed is often referred to as the "lion dog" The Pekingese originated in China very long ago in the first century A.D. It was during the conversion to Buddhism of the Emperor Ming Ti that the new symbol of the religion was the lion, however, In all of China there were no lions. This created a problem. Until one individual noted that nothing resembled the lion more than the Emperor's little Pekingese dog. Throughout this period Pekingese were bred selectively, they were breed more and more to resemble the lion. The Pekingnese were unable to leave the palace walls and were considered very valuable. There were harsh punishments for removing these dogs. One such punishment as recorded in "The Lion Dog of Pekin", was death by stoning for the person responsible for the dog's removal. |
