There is always a strong debate on whether a Pekingese should be "Pet" trimmed or not. With todays hectic schedules and limited-time lifestyles, I much prefer that Pet owners spend their time loving and playing with puppies, rather than trying to make them look like show dogs. Most purchase their puppies because of the Pekingese' superb personalities anyway. After 15 years as a professional groomer I have seen pets in conditions no dog should ever be in! I wholeheartedly recommend "Pet" trims to people who will benefit front them.
