Chinese toy dog, informally (4)

I believe the answer is:

peke

(Other definitions for peke that I've seen before include "Small breed of dog" , "5 [MANS BEST FRIEND]" , "Small snub-nosed dog" , "In short, it's a small short-legged dog" , "Snub-nosed lap-dog (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
