The Chin's coat is black & white or red & white although we have a picture below of a Chin that looks all white. Their coat should be brushed at least twice a week.
   The Japanese Chin does sometimes have health problems, but it is best to contact a few of the breeders below for their known problems. 1StopforDogs.com does not want to scare anyone off this excellent breed as they can live to many, many years as mentioned above. Almost every dog breed has health problems just like people and they with any breed health has to be watched for in certain bloodlines.
   This breed that is bright, lively, animated , affectionate, and likes to play. The Japanese Chin is reserved with strangers.
The Japanese Chin does very well as an indoor pet for apartment dwellers or someone with smaller living spaces.
Because of their long life, I myself as owner of 1StopforDogs.com would seriously consider this breed for a long-time companion.
