Number 211, the Pekingese. The Pekingese is one of the oldest dog breeds. It is depicted on nearly 4,000-year-old Chinese objects. China is the breed's country of origin, but today England is considered its home country. In 1860, the first Pekingese came to England as spoils of war, of which Queen Victoria received one as a gift.
