Pekingese: Size

Go to Dog Breed Center | Forums on Pekingese

The Pekingese is heavy for his size with a stocky, muscular body. He is 6 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs 7 to 14 pounds. In imperial China, Pekingese that weighed less than six pounds were called "sleeve dogs" and rode in the sleeve cuffs of the robes worn by members of the imperial court.

Bichon Chahuahua mixed puppies

My purebred Bichon got pregnant by the neighbors Chihuahua. Six puppies were born. Are the puppies worth anything? Or are they mutts?

Male or female?

I can't seem to find any information on this, but is there a temperament preference for one sex over the other?
