Japanese Chin Breed Review by Jacquelyn Yeaman

I’ve had Japanese chins for 20 years and they aren’t far my favorite breed. They are sweet and affectionate as well as quiet and playful. Easy to maintain their coat as the don’t develop a thick undercoat. I love them and I think I will always have at least one warming my lap.

Japanese Chin Breed Review by Joyce Krick

Our Chin, Aimi, was had the sweetest temperament. I would recommend this breed to anyone who wants a gentle, small dog that is a faithful, loving companion.

Japanese Chin Breed Review by AM

Ming T is now 8 years old and never have I regretted our choice to buy and live with him. Ming is funny, affectionate and innately sensitive. He sits with my elderly parents for hours, follows me everywhere, and is intelligent. The Japanese Chin is a perfect breed if you want a friend for life.

Japanese Chin Breed Review by Jacob Kauffman

Had a little 8 month old chin/chihuahua and she was extraordinary in everything she was. Intelligent, extra ease using her hands and fingers. That howl was magnificent. And the acting kinda cat-like in mannerisms. Lost her to a tragedy of errors. Heartbroken and a bit empty where her love was.

Japanese Chin Breed Review by Debbie Weasenforth

I would never own another kind of dog. This little dog is compassionate, faithful to its owner, lap dog, cat like qualities, spins circles to "show off", an absolute sweetheart. So well behaved and well mannered.

Japanese Chin Breed Review by Karen

My chin is the love of our lives. He loves shopping with me and stays nicely in the shopping cart. The only discipline I need to give to my dog is "no". I truly believe he's part cat. Chins are the only breed I'll ever own

Japanese Chin Breed Review by Hope

I grew up with this breed, Her name was Micky. She was very loveable and playful. She would always lay at the top of the bed, on a pillow behind your head. And when on the couch she would lay on the top behind you. I remember waking up for school, and she would actually lick me awake when it was time to get up. And when I would cover my face with the covers, she would paw at them and bark, making digging movements to get to me. She was very loveable. And Obedient. She would play fetch every now and then. They are a one person dog, but at the same time love everyone as well in the family. They just grow a special connection with their actual owner. She was a little snippy when it came to new people and children. She would snip at them if they tried to pick her up, but never actually bit anyone. Just warnings you could say. She lived to be 18, There were some health issues, she did have cysts at a older age, the vet said they weren\'t life threatening after tests but getting a surgery could be. And she also had gone death and blind in her old age. Eventually we had to put her done to a stroke. But all of this didn\'t happen until she was 16. So for the most part she was a healthy dog for a majority of her life. This breed really left a mark on me, seeing as I have had many different dogs growing up. Still when ever I or family talk about her we can\'t help but cry because we miss her so much. I would def suggest this breed to anyone looking to buy a dog that they will defenite grow a forever bond with.

With a name meaning “royalty”, the Japanese Chin is a pup that was bred to be a lap warmer for Chinese aristocrats and to accompany women of the palace. It is believed that they were brought to Japan by monks around 520 AD. This affectionate dog is great with other pets and when socialized well at an early age, they can be great for families with children who are gentle with this pup. Some of the physical characteristics of the Japanese Chin include a short broad muzzle, large wide-set eyes, and a high-set tail that curls up their back. Their silky coat comes in colors of white with black or white and red and can take up to five years to fully come in. Surprisingly, grooming is easy, needing brushing one or two times per week. They don’t require much exercise, but daily walks are needed. The Japanese Chin was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1888.
