Pekingese haircut: types and detailed instructions

Pekingese are very cute and smart creatures that are very popular. Like representatives of other breeds, these dogs need proper care. Pekingese need a competent haircut, without which their appearance can significantly deteriorate. Today we will analyze in detail what types of haircuts for these pets exist and how they can be done based on detailed instructions.

Before proceeding to a direct examination of the features of the Pekingese haircut, you should familiarize yourself with the description of this famous breed.

So, Pekingese is one of the oldest breeds of decorative dogs. The history of these cute animals dates back more than 2000 years. A dog of Chinese origin, Fu, a small lion, has long been perceived as one of the pedigree lines of dogs belonging to the Chinese imperial court. In those days, these pets were forbidden to keep ordinary people. Only the emperor and his family were entitled to this.

Currently, the Pekingese are not elevated to such a high rank, but are no less popular and attractive. Due to unusual external data - a magnificent magnificent mane, huge shining eyes, fluffy fur and an irregularly shaped face - these pets really look very much like lions, but in miniature.

Of all the representatives of the decorative breeds, it is precisely the Peking dogs that have the longest and most solid fur. In domestic conditions, this feature brings a lot of inconvenience and trouble. The Pekingese coat is double and is characterized by high density. It consists of undercoat and fairly long outer hair. Since these dogs have an unusual brachycephalic muzzle and such a rich fur coat, they are very difficult to tolerate the effects of high temperatures.

Mowing should be carried out not only for hygienic purposes, but also in order to give the animal a more well-groomed and neat appearance. So, a haircut under a little lion can make the animal truly original and very attractive. Such a decision will further strengthen the similarity of the Pekingese with the king of animals. There are other interesting haircuts, for example, "under the puppy." Such options can make the Pekingese more cute and touching in appearance.

Haircuts - this is a necessary event for the Pekingese. Such actions are necessary for these small dogs to achieve the following goals:

• correctly cut dogs meet all the necessary requirements of this breed;

There are several of the most common varieties of haircuts for the Pekingese. Get to know them better and find out what their features are.

As mentioned above, the Pekingese haircut "under the lion" is one of the most popular and common.

At the same time, it is required to leave a rather thick and lush mane on the animal's head, which should be framed as accurately as possible. The rest of the hair on the pet's body needs to be shortened.

The technique of this popular haircut came to us from Japan. There, many dog ​​breeders literally melt from the appearance of little puppies. In order to repeat the image of a month-old dog, adult Pekingese shorten the fur to 3 cm along the entire length of the body. The shape of the ears in this case is usually made “soft” - oval.If everything is done correctly, as a result, the pet will look much “younger” and more touching.

Of course, you can go with your pet to the experts who will shear it, without making a single mistake. But you can do everything yourself at home. In order not to encounter errors during such a procedure, you should follow the detailed step-by-step instructions.

• The next step is a haircut in the inguinal zone. Usually there is very little vegetation here. She still needs to be cut off and this should be done with the utmost care. Do not make sudden movements.
• Next, a gradual treatment of the back of the animal, its paws, side sections and chest is followed. For carrying out these manipulations, both a machine and simple scissors are suitable.
• In the area of ​​the neck, chest and hind legs of the Pekingese they give the fur the necessary neat shape. Around the head of the dog it is better to make the coat rounded. An even contour is made on the tummy. Vegetation in this area should not be longer than 1.5 cm, remove the extra hairs with special thinning scissors.
• The fringe in the ear area should be removed with thinning shears.
• The final step is to cut the hair under the tail of the dog in the genital area and the anus. The tips should be carefully trimmed to 1 cm. The tail should be left fluffy enough. Everything should be done very carefully so as not to accidentally injure the dog.

Pekingese wool needs competent and regular care. If you neglect such procedures, then the pet will quickly lose its visual appeal and will look sloppy. The following is required.

• It is necessary to comb the Pekingese wool daily. This must be done using a special scallop. Sudden movements are best avoided.
• Ears are also washed, especially if discharge from the auricles has been noticed.
• It is required to wipe the eyes of the animal and the folds on the face. This must be done using warm water.
• Bathing Pekingese is permissible exclusively with the use of specialized shampoos, which are sold in many pet stores. It is advisable to choose options for long-haired dogs.Take high-quality branded products.
• If you are preparing a pet for an exhibition or any competition, then cutting it yourself is not recommended, because for such reasons the requirements for a haircut will be more stringent. Without the necessary experience, you will not be able to trim your pet perfectly.

It should be borne in mind that the Pekingese girls should be cut so that a large length of coat remains. Boys, on the contrary, are shorter.

Pets should be accustomed to cutting from an early puppy's age. At first, the puppy may be frightened of such procedures and behave strangely, so you should encourage him by giving treats.

If you yourself are grooming a Pekingese at home, it is best to wear a cotton t-shirt in advance. In this case, the hair will not be electrified during cutting.
