The pekingese is a toy dog breed often described as having a somewhat conceited attitude, which may come to no surprise as the dog was cherished by the imperial family of China for centuries. Despite the dog's proudness, the breed greets family and guests with joy and a good attitude, although they can be wary towards complete strangers.
The breed is intelligent, although they can be stubborn which can hinder training. It is recommended that pekingese owners use positive training with a firm yet loving hand. Because of this its generally not a recommended breed for new dog owners.
