I also had a pekingese who was very very laid back and easy. She still loved to chase toys and play, but she was so self contained when I was busy unlike most other dogs I've owned. The only downside to her was the shedding.. during non-shedding months (winter mostly) her hair was thick but because she was so laid back she probably could go with a good brushing only once a week. However.. during high-shed months (here in california that meant 8-9 months of the year) I had to brush her daily or she would leave a cloud of fur everywhere she went. The only places she ever really matted was under her arms and behind her ears though..
I'd recommend the breed.. and maybe just keeping them clipped to lesson the grooming needs. |
