Japanese Chin

The Japanese Chin is a lively, little dog with a dainty appearance who loves to cavort and play. They have a compact carriage and profuse coat. Their movement is stylish, lifting their feet high when in action, and carrying their tail proudly curved or plumed over their back. Formerly called the Japanese Spaniel, their name was changed to the Japanese Chin in 1977. A gentle and affectionate breed, they are meticulously clean and very easy to house break. If you enjoy an affectionate, playful lapdog then Japanese Chins would make excellent companions.
