Japanese Chin

Once treasured by the Japanese imperial court, the Japanese Chin was bred as a delicate and cherished companion for nobles and royalty. Elegant, charming, and full of personality, this small aristocratic dog spent centuries living among silk cushions and palace halls, where its graceful manners and affectionate nature made it a favorite of emperors, empresses, and visiting dignitaries alike.
