Pekingese dogs are often stubborn, independent, and display a royal demenor. They are courageous 'big dogs' in a small dogs' body. The Peke can be a loyal family member, friendly and outgoing, but wary of strangers. They can be considered a lapdog, and are quite content to lounge in the lap of their master. But don't expect a Peke to come when called. The Pekingese can be a loyal, loving and courageous friend but they also can have a stubborn side, and can be jealous of anything or anyone take a …

So, let's get them together. There are meetups in the north bay but none in the south, and CA IG rescue has confirmed that many many dogs are adopted in the South Bay, so I think we have the potential to get many dogs! Note: I prefer not to charge membership dues, however donations are welcome (info@jlevisw.com is my …
