History
The Pekingese originally came from China. They were brought to the West in the 1860s when British troops invaded Peking (Beijing) during the Opium Wars. They arrived to America by the late 1890s.
Color
Coat colors usually come in various shades of red, from golden-red to darker shades.
Temperament
The Pekingese is an independent and headstrong dog with very little fear so they will go after animals 10 times their size without thinking twice in order to protect their family. This quality makes them very good watchdogs but it can also get them into trouble due to their small size. The Pekingese should be a wonderful addition to your family.
