"... this fascinating Toy dog from its Oriental beginnings to its present-day status as a glamorous show dog and popular companion." - The Complete Japanese Chin

This breed has completely won my heart!  From their cat-like antics to their "oh, so Chinny" attitudes... I'm hooked!  The Japanese Chin satisfies an inner need I wasn't even aware that I had.  They have ALL of the good qualities of the Oriental breeds and none of the bad!  They do shed, sometimes can be difficult to house break, and need to be around thoughtful children.  But what the Japanese Chin gives in return, is truly immeasurable!
