Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Japanese Spaniel, Chin
A quiet, cat-like companion with old-world elegance
The Japanese Chin was bred as a lap companion and behaves accordingly: calm, refined, affectionate and often cat-like in its habits. It needs only gentle exercise, but its silky coat needs regular brushing and its flat face makes it sensitive to heat.

Best-matched service
Yes, provided you enjoy a calm, close companion. They are undemanding and easy in the home, though the coat and flat face need some routine care.
No, they are typically quiet and only speak up occasionally. This makes them well suited to flats and shared buildings.
For short spells, yes, but they bond closely and dislike long absences. Company or midday visits keep them relaxed.
