Before we had our first pekingese, we were offered a 6-year old female pekingese that is being culled from breeding. That age is a good time for retirement. And instead of taking care of a "useless" pet, breeders normally gave them away. But we refused the offer because how would an old dog behave in our home? And we also had a 5-year old mixed mongrel who is ferocious. Another issue is the attitude and culture of the dog. As they say, you cannot teach old dogs new tricks.
On a brighter note, after refusing that culled breeder, that same colleague offered me a puppy pekingese on the following year. That one I took. We named him Epoy. But that's another story.
