Overview:

The Peke-A-Pap, a delightful crossbreed between the intelligent Papillon and the regal Pekingese, offers a unique blend of their charming traits. Originating from designer breed initiatives, these small companions typically inherit a moderate length, often silky, coat that comes in a variety of colors, and a distinctive facial structure that can lean towards either parent's look, sometimes with the Peke's characteristic flat face. Temperament-wise, they are generally affectionate and playful, but can also exhibit a stubborn streak, making early socialization and positive reinforcement training essential. Their compact size makes them well-suited for apartment living and they can be wonderful additions to families with older, respectful children. While generally healthy, potential health concerns include respiratory issues (especially if more Pekingese-faced), patellar luxation, and eye conditions. Regular grooming is necessary to maintain their beautiful coat and prevent matting.
