The Pekingese has a rich and ancient history that dates back over 2,000 years to imperial China, where they were bred as companion dogs for Chinese royalty. Revered as sacred and believed to have spiritual powers, they were considered so noble that commoners were required to bow to them. The breed was closely guarded within the imperial palace, and stealing one was punishable by death. Pekingese first came to the West in the mid-19th century, when British troops looted the Imperial Palace during the Second Opium War and brought several dogs back to England. Their exotic looks and aristocratic bearing quickly made them a favorite among European nobility, and they were officially recognized by kennel clubs in the early 20th century. Today, Pekingese remain cherished for their distinctive appearance, loyalty, and storied heritage.
