Peke-A-Boo Activity Requirements

The Peke-A-Boo is a small, playful dog that is full of energy. While they are not a high-energy breed, they do require regular exercise in order to maintain their health and vigor. Most Pekes will enjoy a daily walk or a short play session. This is not a highly energetic or demanding breed of dog, but they do need to burn off some energy and enjoy life. Ideally, a Peke would be exercised in an enclosed area. While they are excellent outside in warm weather, they are not well suited for very cold weather. If you live in an area where it is warm year-round, your Peke will probably do well with some time outside.
