Pekes look dainty. How fragile are they?
Pekes are quite sturdy for their size, and are surprisingly heavy to the lift. That is because underneath their profuse coats, they’re pretty much solid muscle. You don’t have to treat healthy Pekingese dogs like paper mache, as they can take some firm petting on the body. But rough play such as wrestling or wildly running around an unclear room can be injurious to them. Handle them with moderation, and you’ll be fine.
