Pekingese

Pekingese is an elite breed of dogs from China because the royals from the Chinese Imperial court often had one by their side. They treated them as a companion or lap dog. They were named after a Chinese city.

Their lifespan is about 11.4 years, and sources say trauma is the no. 1 cause of their untimely deaths. The Pekingese dogs can also develop breathing issues and eye problems at times. They shouldn’t be outdoors for an extended amount of time since they have a hard time adapting to cold or hot weather.
