's message, "Re: pekingese and children" on 02:55:57 07/28/07 Sat
Posting a reply to my own message....but just realized that the message I was replying to first off was from March 07, a little late, but I just came across this forum. Also, my response was to YaoLing's mom.
>>>I have read and heard that Pekingese are not good
>with
>>>children, however I have to disagree.
>>
>>You of cource are entitled to your opinion and there
>>are always exceptions to the rule in every breed, but
>>that does not mean ALL pekes are good with children.
>>Some pekes if purchased as a wee baby and of excellent
>>temperment and raised with small children and trained
>>by parents that know the breed and teach the children
>>as well as the puppy to get along can be raised
>>together......BUT.... those are far and few between,
>>if the new owners have no idea how to dicipline their
>>puppies or children then a problem arises, there are
>>more children getting bitten by this breed than there
>>are NOT. So breeders would rather warn people about
>>the incompatibility and save a child from getting
>>bitten than not tell them and have a mean biting peke.
>>
>>I have been a breeder for 32 years and I breed for
>>excellent temperment, I also have 5 grandaughters of
>>various ages, "some" of my pekes will tolerate some
>>of the grandaughters, others they won't.
>>
>>I have 3 human
>>>kids (age 2, 6, & 8) and 4 peke kids. Only one peke
>>>would rather be left alone by the kids, but he has
>>>good reason for that. but often moves
>>>somewhere else if they are playing loudly nearby.
>>
>>And this is the first sign that the peke would rather
>>not be around the children, YOU may understand this
>>but many others would not recognize this as the first
>>signal, so they do not teach the children to leave
>>that peke alone, then the child gets bitten.
>>
>>I am very glad to hear your children get along with
>>pekes, but you also sound like you have trained both
>>your children and the pekes to tolerate each others,
>>congradulations on that.
>>But to the new owners of this breed that know nothing
>>about training children to be around this breed there
>>will be a very high percentage of problems.
> I've had Pekingese that just loved children and would
>never ever bite a child no matter what the child might
>do to them and were not raised as a puppies around
