because of their love of heights, playfulness, and cat like curiousity.
A "wash and go" breed, despite their very elegant appearance.
Chin are still unique, fairly rare and for sure special.

(Typical day in the life of a Japanese Chin)
They don't bark !
Seriously, unless their owner encourages it, you will not hear a chin bark.
When frustrated with their owners, the do make a "woooh woooooh" sing song, noise.
While they are an "alert" breed, that have endless energy, they are not hyper
and require very little exercise, content to sleeping or amusing themselves.
INFORMATION:
Japanese Chin are a toy breed, weighing 7-11 lbs.
The well known breed trait, is their wide eyed, look of astonishment
achieved because of the "SMALL" amount of white showing in the inner corners of the eyes.
This breed is fearless and very inquisitive. Their curiosity combined with their
wide eyed innocent look, will certainly have you laughing at what they get up to.
They are just little clowns.
The Japanese Chin house trains, and will ask to go outside
by pacing or scratching at the door, or ringing a bell if you have one.
Keeping a pee pad by the exit door will help a great deal.
Unlike other toy breeds, the Chin is not prone to barking
and if it is the only dog in the house, you may never hear them bark at all.
When irritated with their humans, they do object with this "whooo whooo"
which is totally endearing.
Another unusual trait of the Chin is his tendency blow out of his nose,
resulting in a fine mist of exhalation, also known by Chin fanciers as a "snizzle."
This is not the sign of a respiratory infection, but instead is due to his flat face.
Reverse sneezing is also common in the Chin and is not usually a cause for concern.
Their coat is medium length, fine, and soft and easy to maintain
with just running a comb through their coat weekly.
If you bath them weekly, you will get less shedding
and a more impressive flowing coat.
Quiet, funny, clean, easy maintenance coat.
You could not find a breed more perfect for apartment or small space living
