Chinese and not only: how to choose the right nickname for a Pekingese

Pekingese is a decorative breed of dog that was bred in ancient China over 2,000 years ago. The dog has a unique appearance: a flattened muzzle and fluffy long hair. They are ideal apartment dogs.

Every owner, when a Pekingese puppy appears in the house, thinks about its nickname. After all, the dog’s name will become his first guide in life and can become his guiding star. Therefore, you should not call him by the first name you come across, but seriously think about this issue. Dogs from the kennel are given club names from birth, which are included in the pedigree. All of them are chosen at random in most cases and are difficult to pronounce. Therefore, it is worth choosing a suitable nickname for the Pekingese.

How to choose a nickname for a Pekingese?

There is an opinion that a name for a Pekingese is very important, since a nickname can program the dog for a certain behavior pattern. It’s not for nothing that there is such a proverb: “What you call a ship, that’s how it will sail.” Therefore, we wish you to give your dog a suitable nickname and so that he becomes your most faithful friend. Let's look at some advice from dog handlers on how to choose the right nickname for a Pekingese:

• Short nicknames. A short name is quickly pronounced and the dog learns its name faster. If you decide to call your dog a more serious name, then it should still have an abbreviation. This is for quickly calling the dog to you in case of emergency.
• The name should be clear, understandable and easy to pronounce.
• The presence of the sounds “sh”, “s”, “k” and “ch” in the nickname allows dogs to quickly respond to the owner’s call.
• Names should not be similar to commands.
• It is worth understanding that you will call your pet not only at home, but also on the street. Therefore, in order not to look stupid, you should take the choice of a nickname for your Pekingese more seriously.
• You should not call the Pekingese by Russian-language names (Petya, Fedya, etc.), this does not apply to foreign names.
• For fun, you shouldn’t call an animal an ugly, funny or stupid name. This is insulting to the animal and will not make you a good owner.
• Study the appearance and habits of your pet and you can find its distinctive features that will tell you its future nickname.

Character

Pekingese have a calm, obedient character; they sense the mood of their owner and act in accordance with this instinct.

They are very brave and loyal to their owner, so they will protect him if it seems to them that someone is hostile to him. They can even attack a dog several times their size. But they love people and treat them a little condescendingly.

This breed is very suitable for older people, because you don’t need to walk the animals for a long time; thirty minutes in the morning and evening is enough for them. Lonely people will also feel good with such a companion - he is ready to communicate and caress for hours on end. He does not require serious training or much physical activity; caring for him is simple and easy.

This is a real watchman who will notify the entire neighborhood by yapping about an intruder or thief, so that few will dare to approach your door without an invitation. But some owners may be annoyed by their pet's snoring, sniffling and constant barking. They do not always get along with children, they are jealous and proud.
