Introduction

Elegant and aristocratic, the Japanese Chin is a charming companion with a distinct Oriental expression. Known for their grace and daintiness, these small, square-proportioned dogs have a lavish, flowing coat, and a light, springy gait. Their friendly temperament pairs well with their intelligence, making them both entertaining and loving. Despite their regal appearance, Chins are quite playful and thrive in loving environments. Little grooming and moderate exercise make them ideal for various living situations.
