Hi Kristi, a peke is normally mature between 3 to 4 years old, the coat is usually at it's best then also, but it all depends on the genes for coat that are in your dogs bloodline, some have lovely coats others have very little so it would depend on what is in the genes of your dog.

Also it depends on what you feed your dog as what they eat will determine the health of the coat, a healthy coat will grow better,

That beautiful long tail you mention , will all depend on the health of the coat,depends on how often you groom, what grooming tools you use (some rip out coat), it will depend on if you "wrap" the tail hair or if they drag it across rough grass and cement, which breaks the ends off the coat. Also depends on if any other dogs are around them that will chew or pull on your dogs tail, ripping out hair and matting it.

And lastly it also depends on your "weather", if it is dry and hot where you are then the coat will be dry and break easily, if you live near water then the moisture will help keep the hair from becoming dry and brittle.

Sorry it couldn't be a simple answer but so many things contribute to coat.
