Origin of the Pekingese
In the year 1860, British troops stormed the Imperial Palace in Peking, finding five Lion Dogs or Pekingese, which would become the founders of the breed in England. Before this date, these small and courageous animals were sacred dogs of China, guarded by special attendants whose duty it was to look after them on the penalty of death should harm befall one of their royal charges.
How the Pekingese came into being is a question without a definite answer, however ancient legend relates that the pekingese is the off spring of a lion and a marmoset, the former of which sacrificed his size and strength but not his brave heart for love of the diminutive charmer.
