PEKINGESE
DOG
INFORMATION |
|
General Appearance: Expression must suggest the Chinese origin of the
Pekingese in its quaintness and individuality, resemblance to the lion in directness and
independence and should imply courage, boldness, self-esteem and combativeness rather than
prettiness, daintiness, or delicacy.
Size: Being a toy dog, medium size preferred, providing
type and points are not sacrificed; extreme limit 14 lb.(6kg).
Coat and Colour: Coat long, with thick undercoat, straight and flat, not curly nor
wavy, rather coarse, but soft; feather on thighs, legs, tail, and toes long and profuse.
Mane profuse, extending beyond the shoulder blades, forming ruff or frill round the neck.
All colours are allowable. Red, fawn, black, black and tan, sable, brindle, white, and
particolour well defined; black masks and spectacles around the eyes, with lines to the
ears are desirable. The colouring of a particolored dog must be broken on the body. No
large portion of any one colour should exist. White should be shown on the saddle. A dog
of any solid colour with white feet and chest is not a particolour.
Head: Skull massive, broad, wide and flat between the
ears (not domed shape), wide between the eyes. Stop deep. Muzzle wrinkled, very short and
broad, not overshot nor pointed. Strong, broad underjaw, teeth not to show. Nose black,
broad, very short and flat. Eyes large, dark, prominent, round, lustrous. Ears heart
shaped, not set too high, leather never long enough to come below the muzzle, nor carried
erect, but rather drooping, long feather.
Forequarters: Firm at shoulder, bones of forearm bowed, short
forelegs.
Body: Back level. Not too long in body; allowance made
for longer body in bitch. Heavy in front, well-sprung ribs, broad chest, falling away
lighter behind, lion-like.
Hindquarters: Hind legs lighter than forelegs but firm and well
shaped. Feet flat, toes turned out, not round, should stand well up on feet, not on
ankles.
Tail: Set high; lying well over back to either side;
long, profuse, straight feather.
Gait: Fearless, free and strong, with slight roll.
Faults: Protruding tongue, badly blemished eye, overshot,
wry mouth.
Disqualifications: Weight over 14 lb. (6kg): Dudley nose.
