Originating in Japan, the Japanese Chin is believed to have the same ancestors as the Pug and the Pekingese. He is also known as the Japanese Spaniel and was once called the Japanese Pug. These tiny little dogs were favorites at the Japanese court and ownership was once restricted to members of the Japanese Imperial family. A dainty little dog with a high-stepping gait, the Japanese Chin has become immensely popular in his native country. He was originally bred to be a pampered companion and he still fulfills this role today.

| The Japanese Chin stands up to 11 inches at the shoulder and has a long,
straight, silky coat that does not often matt. His coat may be black and white, red and white,
sable and white, or black and white with tan points. This dog is a great choice for the clean freak as he does
not like living in dirty surroundings and keeps himself as clean as a cat. The Japanese Chin carries his long plumed tail curled up over his back.
An engaging and happy animal, the Chin has a lot of charm. He is affectionate and devoted to his family and friendly with other people. He also gets along well with other household pets. As with many of the toy breeds, he is perhaps best suited to homes where children are old enough to respect his small size. Perky, agile, and playful, the Chin has a mind of his own and likes to be the center of attention. Unlike many of the toy breeds, the Chin is not generally a barker, although he will alert you to the presence of strangers, and so makes a good watchdog. The Japanese Spaniel is intelligent and more obedient than most toy breeds. With an eager to please nature, training comes easily to him. So does learning tricks! Mild mannered and sensitive, harsh training methods should never be used with him. The Chin does well as an indoor dog, and can do without a yard. He does not require a lot of exercise but does enjoy getting out and about. |
