The Pekingese is always the very last dog to enter and go around the ring in the Toy Group.  This is because the Peke is the slowest moving of all of the Toy dogs.  If a faster dog were behind him, he would just run right on past the Peke.  This breed is so much fun to watch in the ring.  Full speed ahead for the Peke is more like a very slow waddle, but it is most often described as a “rolling gait”.  With those short little legs it’s just plain hard to move very fast!  In this image the handler has picked up the dog after a slow walk around the ring in front of the judge.  “Thanks for the ride, dad!”
