When I first considered the Japanese Chin as a breed, I researched who had
the most world winning show Chin and who "produced" the most winning Show Chin.
Then from there, who had the Japanese Chin type, that I found most appealing
Being my first Japanese Chin, I was happy that Dale (Touche Kennels) was willing to part
with this DARK red sable female which was exactly what I was looking for !
Then he cancelled he said, to offer me "his" keeper puppy instead !
yeah Me !!
Yuna has been a constant source of entertainment for me since.
She holds morning calisthenics, engaging everyone in races and jumps
around our professionally and specially built, chin yard.
Yuna is very serious about doing everything to perfection !
At the dog pool she races everyone and is not happy unless she finishes first.
In the dog show ring, she makes me so proud, moving out like a dream and self stacking
demanding the judge's attention, she is just so "on" .
There is nothing this little fire ball can't, or won't do, just to please me.
Most of the time though, I find Yuna sleeping on the big dog bed.
Keeping one eye open, for any activity she might miss out on doing.
And policing everyone, making sure nothing gets too out of hand.
