I can’t imagine a Pekingese as a guard dog! They would start to chase something and then have a coughing fit. If it’s the same breed I’m thinking of.
That’s sad you had to say goodbye to your grand dog. How did he handling the winter there? I bet he would have rather stayed in Texas with you.
I think that breed does better i cold weather. Talked to daughter yesterday said Rocko doesn’t get excited about much but he would if I came. It always amused her, our love, since I’m not a dog person.
