Breed History

This small and well-balanced breed is believed to have originated from China and was given as gifts to the emperor of Japan. Its name was changed from Japanese Spaniel to Japanese Chin in the year 1977.

It is assumed that the Japanese Chin was crossed with small spaniel-type dogs to achieve the look it has today. This breed was regarded as a separate being and not as a dog; it is a unique breed that is owned strictly for companionship.

Temperament

A unique fact about the Japanese Chin is its ability to shape its personality around its environment because of its sensitivity.

This breed has a very amicable and gentle temperament and is also self-confident and highly intelligent. As a result of its sensitive temperament, it can sense its owner’s mood and change its own mood to match. The Japanese Chin is known to be alert, friendly and loyal.

Environment

The small size of the Japanese Chin makes it a suitable apartment dog; it is not one to be separated from its owner as it craves companionship and could suffer from anxiety when left on its own. The Japanese Chin can also adapt to any living situation; if it lives in a quiet home, it has the tendency to become reserved and vice versa.

Exercise

When exercising the Japanese Chin, note that if you get bored along the way, it will also become bored hence exercise won’t be fun anymore.

The best way to exercise this breed is to create an active mood for the exercise. It requires a lower amount of exercise due to its size, unlike other dogs; a daily walk and play in the yard would do.

Grooming

The Japanese Chin has an easy to maintain the coat, brushing sessions once or twice a week would do the magic as it has no problem with tangles.

It is a tidy dog by nature and licks itself clean so bathing is only required every 3 to 4 months or whenever it gets dirty or begins to stink.

Special attention should also be given to its skirt and the area under the ears and legs. The face should also be occasionally wiped with a damp cloth.
