Basic Requirements: Pekingese need a moderate amount of room in which to exercise. They are good dogs for smaller homes and apartments if they are taken for daily walks. Bi-weekly to daily grooming will help to control moderate shedding, remove dirt and debris from the hair, and keep the coat from tangling.

Temperament: Pekingese are confident dogs that love attention and are devoted to their owners. They do have an independent streak, however, and can, at times, be difficult to train. They do best with older children.
