Japanese Chin
Toy
Chins at play and Mischa from the Best Japanese Chin Kennel
The Japanese Chin’s (also known as the Japanese Spaniel) coat is long, straight and silky, and requires brushing a few times a week. While they may appear “cat-like” in nature they will adapt themselves to the family environment in which they live. The Chin is mild-mannered and loves people. They do well with children and other pets, but should be kept from harm’s way when playing with smaller children or strangers. A great apartment dog that enjoys a daily walk and an ability to run in a confined outdoor setting.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue — be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
