The Pekingese dog was a breed of toy dog developed in ancient China, where it was held sacred and was kept as a palace dog by members of the imperial family. It was introduced to the West by English forces that looted the Imperial Palace at Peking (Beijing) in 1860. The Pekingese has been known, both in the East and in the West, as the "sleeve dog" or "lion dog" -presumably because of its appearance, although it is also acclaimed as having lionlike independence and courage.
