Pekingese

This page features illustrations of the Pekingese breed in various formats such as PNG, SVG, and AI. The Pekingese is a toy breed known for its long, flowing hair, flat face, and distinctive 'lion's mane'. While there is a myth of Buddha shrinking a lion to create the Pekingese, it was actually selectively bred by Chinese nobility to become a toy-sized dog. The breed first gained Western attention when discovered during a British raid on a Chinese palace in the Opium wars. Today, the Pekingese remains an independent yet devoted companion, forming close and affectionate bonds with its owner.
