Pekes are never put in any type clip for show, nor should they be. They are shown as nature intends, with whatever coat they grow.
From the standard:
Coat - It is a long, coarse-textured, straight, stand-off outer coat, with thick, soft undercoat. The coat forms a noticeable mane on the neck and shoulder area with the coat on the remainder of the body somewhat shorter in length. A long and profuse coat is desirable providing it does not obscure the shape of the body. Long feathering is found on toes, backs of the thighs and forelegs, with longer fringing on the ears and tail. Presentation - Presentation should accentuate the natural outline of the Pekingese. Any obvious trimming or sculpting of the coat, detracting from its natural appearance, should be severely penalized.
Well, Darnright, if that standard should be applied to humans then that would mean that none of us could get a haircut, or a shave, in the case of the men. And we’d all look pretty ugly. Since all the other breeds are washed, poufed, clipped, (and sometimes dyed) it seems that the ppoor Pekes are at a severe disadvantage.
