What’s good and bad about the Peke?

Pros:

  • Good watchdog who’ll bark at strangers
  • Independent dog who can stand being left alone while you work
  • Perfect for apartments; he may need to be made to take a walk
  • Small but not as dainty or lightweight as some Toy breeds (just wait until you try to lift one)

Cons:

  • Cats may be tolerated but children and other dogs usually aren’t
  • Daily grooming is a must and shedding will be noticeable
  • Needs air conditioning; he can’t tolerate heat and humidity (just look at his coat)

 Adorable little puppies.
