Welcome to Pet Talk!

I don't like the poofy look either. I think your groomer will be able to give you a better idea. I think the poofy look is for shows. Just like poodles that are shown have that funk hair cut.

Here's a link to a website about grooming a pekingese. It has a poofy hair do, but has other helpful tips as well.
