An ancient Japanese small breed delighting noblewomen before charming Western fanciers as excellent lap dogs. The dignified and compact Japanese Chin has a silky coat, foxy face, and loosely curled tail across the back. They have minimal exercise needs and a desire to please, traits that flourish through consistent positive interactions. Harsh reprimands should be avoided, as they can upset their sensitive natures. Instead, the Japanese Chin thrives under gentle guidance and leadership from adoring families. Quiet, gentle, and easily adaptable, this breed is a loving pet that doesn’t need a lot of space to be happy. What he does desire is quality time and lots of cuddles from his favorite people. Shedding is minimal and grooming is easily accomplished.
