When
you have fallen in love with the pekingese, you
have to concider several things, before you
buy a puppy or an adult dog, because the
pekingese is “unatural” built if you compare
it to other breeds.
The
head has to be wide and big, - the skull wide
and flat. – the eyes must be apart and be big
round and dark- dominating but absolutly not
prominent. The nose has to be short and wide
with big nostrils, wich is well open. Teeth and
tung must not be showing. - The neck must be
short and vigorous- if this is in order the dog
will absolutely not have difficulty in
breathing, as some with lack of knowlegde
for the breeds anatomi, likes to claim.
The
breed is unique because of the roll when it
walks. The roll in front is caused by a broad
and well developed chest, wich also causes the
pear-shaped body.- The front part has very
vigorous legs,- where the bones in the front
legs must be lightly curved, the shulders ferm,-
the front paws has to be lightly out-turned.-
the back has to be straight. This special
structure in the front in combination with the
very closely placed rear legs, wich is built
more lightly but still needs to forme the right
angle, gives the breed the special rolling walk.
If
I had to introduce this small dog further, it
would be like this: the pekingese is loving,
independent, intelligent, lively, and often very
beautiful. It is a breed you very well can enjoy,
as an alone dog or together with other dogs, I
have seen many warm friendships between the dogs.
A pekingese can not be loved to much or get to
much attention, the more you take care of the
dog, the more happy and free it gets, and we all
want at happy and harmonic pekingese.
A pekingese walk easely, but it has to walk in
its “own pace”, wich is more slowly than
other breeds. When the pekingese is built right:
ferm, right shoulder angel and a hind part
without loose
joints and muscles, you optain the build wich is
typical for the breed, and then the special walk
appears.
The
period, wich from a learning- and adaptations
point a view is very important for the puppy, is
when it is 3 - 13 weeks old, wich is
called the socialize period, but equaly
importent for the puppy is the period from 5
months to 9-10 months or even to a year of age.
In the beginning of the first period
it is decided who is becoming the puppys nearst
“social friend” and if it will be able to
establish sociale relations later on. It is also
decided how close the puppys relationship to
people will be and how well it will
“understand” him or her. Many people fail to
see the second period and then it often goes
wrong. The dog develope what I call social
fright or invironment fright.
The
puppy is very aware of what it experience or not
experience, in that age and that is why
something often goes wrong, because the
puppy do not experience anything. The
puppy is bigger and takes more time, but it is
now the puppy needs to extend and stabilize its
already acquired knowlegde about lifes
versatility, and this is where people often let
it down.
Lack
of human contact = insecure of humans and lack
of experiences = invironment fright.
Dogs,
and this goes for all breeds, are sensitive
beings, who needs a stabil relationship to
people to avoid suffering from any psychical
damage, and everything points to that the dogs
not always get their needs fulfilled by being
with people. The growing number of animal
psychologists in almost any town tells the truth.
But dogs are not little machines who ones in a
while needs to get their more
or less defect life repaired
by the mechanic/ psychologist- think about that.
