The Pekingese, the ultimate lap dog and devoted companion, adapts to his environment and surroundings. Even though he has a mind of his own and likes to get his own way, he has an independent spirit which is his most endearing characteristic. A firm hand will let him know who is master. He is very suspicious of strangers even though he is an affectionate, noble dog who is both self-centered and stubborn.
