anything interesting about them

Strong-willed
Snorting, snuffling, wheezing, loud snoring
Regular brushing and combing
Heavy shedding
Slowness to housebreak
Gassiness (flatulence)
A multitude of health problems
Serious health problems. The biggest problem with Pekingese is health. This breed has been grossly deformed by modern breeders. The unnaturally short face and upturned nose means breathing difficulties and the potential for heatstroke in hot humid weather. Their compromised respiratory system makes it risky to anesthetize them. Most of these dogs can't even whelp their puppies without veterinary intervention.
The large shallow-set eyes are extremely vulnerable to injury and infection. The long back is susceptible to disk problems. Pekingese are also prone to joint problems, skin problems, and allergies.

The Pekingese holds an honored place in the dog world. In ancient times it was held sacred in China. The temperament is a combination of regal dignity, self-importance, self-confidence and exasperating stubbornness. He is good natured, lively and a affectionate companion to those who have earned its respect. This dog overheats easily because it's a "flat-faced" breed. The dog needs daily brushing very important.

My mom and I did our research on pekingese after buying one (not smart) and found that our experience was pretty much the same as everyone else we met who had one. They tend to attach very strongly to one person in the household and become very jealous and snappy with other family members, especially children. They may attack other members of the family with no warning and for no reason. I still have a scar on my nose from my pekingese, who chose my mom as his person. They also aren't the brightest dogs and for this reason can be hard to train. Ours was also very fearful around strangers, and I don't think this is unusual for the breed either. However, I do have to say that these dogs are absolute sweethearts if you happen to be their one special person. So, if you live alone and want a devoted lapdog, this is the dog for you. If not, I would keep looking for a friendlier breed.

check out www.dogbreedinfo.com . They are divided by breeds and give a good amount of information ranging from descriptions, attitudes/temperment, life expectancy, needs/requirements, etc. Pretty nicely detailed and they usually have a good amount of pictures towards the bottom or galleries of that specific breed.

My mom has one & she each and every from time to time drools. i've got faith it has something to do together with her underbite (she has somewhat od a snaggle the tooth) and her tounge is often protruding (we comedian tale that her tounge is basically too enormous for her mounth). if your puppy sounds like this too (with the snaggle the tooth or tounge protruding) then it somewhat is completely everyday for it to drool consequently.
