FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"These dogs can be
stubborn and
jealous. They are
childlike and can be
opinionated at times.
Do not expect this dog to come when it is called. Pekes are sometimes
aggressive, especially to other dogs. It may take a long time for Pekes to get used to any other dogs except puppies, mates, and siblings. However, Pekes can be properly socialized with dogs and other types of pets and can become fast friends. The Pekingese personality has been
compared to a cat, although this isn't quite right. It simply
doesn't realize that it is a dog and would not like to be treated as such. Where a cat can be trained, a
Pekingese needs to be convinced that the training is beneficial to the dog and the owner."
"The Pekingese is a large dog in a small body. It
expects to be respected and
will not tolerate being treated otherwise."
"A combination of regal dignity, intelligence, courageousness and self-importance make for a good natured, opinionated and affectionate companion
to those who have earned its respect."
In summary: THESE DOGS ARE ASSHOLES.
