The Pekingese is a small, robust dog, with a short neck and legs. The forelimbs are slightly divergent from the elbow. The head is strong, wider than it is tall, with a pleated frontal furrow. The stop is deep. The muzzle is broad, wrinkled, with a flat profile. The eyes are large, round, shiny and slightly protruding. The ears, in the shape of a heart, fall back with long fringes of hair on the sides of the head. The body is short. The tail is placed high, carried rigid, slightly curved above the back, with abundant fringes.
