It says that you don't own a Japanese Chin, but that he owns you. He is ruler over his home and his throne in her lap. It is not surprising, given the Japanese Chin Royal history. This is a petite and untouched small breed, is just as hardy and assertive. Chin, however, is also very friendly, charming, intelligent and alert.


Did you know that Japanese Chin actually originate from China, not Japan? The breed arrived in Japan of a royal gift. In both countries was the breed held in very high. It was a dog for Royals and nobles, not ordinary people. In Japan, they were not called "Inu" other dogs but "Chin," sets them apart. Could this small Regal pooch your next lap dog? Learn all about the Japanese Chin and decide for yourself. Are you one of the many supporters of this beloved race? Talk about your Japanese Chin.
