Early socialization and training is encourage to help your Pekingese grow into a well-adjusted and well-behaved buddy. Start with the basics, like sit stay, come and potty. Once those are out of the way, you can work on more complicated feats like agility. It’s also important to target bad behaviour, like chewing, biting or sleeping on the bed, off the bat. Enforcing good habits will go a long way.
Pekingese have heart-shaped ears that are set on the front corners of the topskull, and lie flat against the head. Their ears have heavy feathering and long fringing, which frame the sides of the face and add to the appearance of a wide, rectangular head. Check for debris and excessive amounts of wax. Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
