The Pekingese (also known as the Lion Dog, Peking Lion Dog, Pelchie Dog, or Peke) is an ancient breed of toy dog, originating in China. They are called Lion Dogs due to their resemblance to Chinese guardian lions (the Shih Tzu is also known as a Lion Dog in Chinese).
The breed was favored by royalty of the Chinese Imperial court as both a lap dog and companion dog, and its name refers to the city of Peking (Beijing) where the Forbidden City is located. The breed has several characteristics and health issues related to its unique appearance. Because of its desirable characteristics, the Pekingese has been part of the development of designer crossbreeds, such as the Peekapoo (crossed with a poodle) and Peke-a-tese (crossed with a Maltese).
The Pekingese, originating from Western China, were proud companions of the Chinese Buddhist monks. These dogs are also found to be owned by Chinese princes.
The Pekingese breed is over 2000 years old and has hardly changed in all that time. One exception is that modern breeders and dog show judges seem to prefer the long-haired type over the more traditional spaniel-type coat.
The Pekingese’s flat face and large eyes are some of the breeds most obvious characteristics. The body is compact and low to the ground. Pekingese also have a muscular and durable body. The breed’s unusual rolling gait may have been deliberately developed by breeding to prevent the court dogs from wandering in ancient times.
There are two origin stories for the #Pekingese. The first is the most common, The Lion and the Marmoset:
A lion and a marmoset fell in love. But the lion was too large. The lion went to the Buddha and told him of his woes. The Buddha allowed the lion to shrink down to the size of the marmoset. And the Pekingese was the result.
The second, less-common, originating story is The Butterfly Lions:
A lion fell in love with a butterfly. But the butterfly and lion knew the difference in size was too much to overcome. Together they went to see the Buddha, who allowed their size to meet in the middle. From this, the Pekingese came.
Another legend says that the breed resulted from the mating of a lion and a monkey, getting its nobleness and coat from the former and its ungainly walk from the latter.
Because the Pekingese was believed to have originated from the Buddha, he was a temple dog. As such, he was not a mere toy. He was made small so that he could go after and destroy little demons that might infest the palace or temple. But his heart was big so that he could destroy even the largest and fiercest. (Barbara Hambly’s novel, Bride of the Rat God, was written from this premise, although Hambly denies knowledge of the legends.)

Пекинес — (от анг. Pekingese – пекинский), священная собака китайских императоров, выведенная в древнем Китае более 2000 лет назад.
Само название породы происходит от города Пекин. Китайцы зовут пекинесов собачками Фу. Пекинесы принадлежали семье китайского императора, содержались во дворце и не были доступны простым жителям. Считалось, что это маленькие духи-охранники, да и внешне пекинесы больше похожи на крошечных львов, чем на собак. Есть древняя китайская легенда о происхождении пекинесов: согласно этой легенде, царь зверей лев в незапамятные времена влюбился в обезьяну и взял её в жёны; родившийся от этого брака детёныш унаследовал забавную внешность матери и гордый характер отца.
Эта царская собачка попала в Европу после того, как англичане захватили Летний дворец в Пекине, тогда пять пекинесов, принадлежащих императору, были увезены в качестве трофеев из женских покоев дворца. До этого никому, кроме членов императорской семьи, не позволялось владеть этой собакой, а того, кто смог её украсть, ждала смертная казнь.
Пекинес впервые был представлен на выставке в Европе. Первый клуб любителей пекинеса был организован в США.
