In the years 1859-1860. another Opium War broke out between China, England, and France, the result of which was the storming of the residence of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire. The monarch himself, like his family members, the British did not find in the Summer Palace, but they found five Pekingese who miraculously survived in it, who were later sent to Great Britain.
From this moment on, a new, European round in the history of the breed begins, which has presented the world with decorative dogs with lion’s manes and monkey faces.
By the way, animals have christened Pekingese already in England, based on the name of the Chinese capital – Beijing.
