    About this ebook

    “Show Pekingese” is a classic guide to owning and breeding Pekingese dogs for the purpose of competing and exhibiting. It explores every aspect of the subject from history to selection, rearing, and winning. This comprehensive volume will be of considerable utility to owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a great addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Origin and History”, “Pekingese Genealogy”, “Clubs and Their Foundations and Standard of Points”, “The Brood Bitch and Stud Dog”, “The Rearing and Feeding of Puppies, and Short Notes on Kennelling”, “Some Common Ailments”, and “Preparation for Exhibition”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on dog breeding.

      Show Pekingese - Origin, History, Standard of Points, How to Breed, Rear, Treat, and Prepare for Exhibition - Minna Loftus Allen

      Preface.

      During the last decade or so a number of monographs have appeared on the Pekingese, and the breed has also been dealt with in larger works which embrace the canine species generally; for that reason one finds some little diffidence in bringing yet another treatise before the public, even though it contains much about the breed that is new. Whilst I am the first to admit that many of these previous works have been of a very high standard from a literary point of view, and have in many cases given very valuable technical and veterinary information (to the latter at least of which my work does not aspire), yet all appear to me to have fallen short in connection with the History of the breed, and many have made what to one like myself who recalls those early days, are very serious errors.

      Reading one morning in one of our best known dailies an article on the Pekingese, I came across the following statement: The mating of the Duchess of Richmond’s Goodwood Chun with Mrs. Douglas Murray’s Ah Cum formed the foundation of the breed in England.

      Little did the writer evidently know that both these dogs were males!

      This article tempted me to try other works from the same pen, and in them I found many more inaccuracies of a like character, and so I passed to efforts of other experts, only to find some of the errors perpetuated.

      Thus I came to the conclusion that it might not be amiss if one like myself, probably infinitely less versed in literary qualifications, and with no claim to highly technical knowledge, but with a very full personal acquaintance with the earliest show Pekingese in England, were to give a round, unvarnished history of the breed as a show dog from its very earliest beginnings in
