Hope this helps:

Pekingese weigh from 7 to 14 lb (3.2 to 6.4 kg) and stand about 6--9 inches (15--23 cm) at the withers, however they can sometimes be smaller. These smaller Pekingese are commonly referred to as "Sleeve" Pekingese or just "Sleeves". The name is taken from ancient times, when emperors would carry the smallest of the breed in their sleeves. A Pekingese over 14 pounds is disqualified in the show ring.

I know there is more than you asked here but I just added it anyway for extra detail if you ever wondered
