Breed history

The Japanese Chin is an ancient toy breed with roots tracing back over a thousand years to the imperial courts of Asia. Despite its name, the Chin is thought to have originated in China, where it was bred as a royal lapdog and later gifted to Japanese nobility. Over centuries, the breed became a cherished companion of the Japanese aristocracy, often featured in artwork and associated with elegance, refinement, and devotion. It wasn’t until the 1800s that the Japanese Chin was introduced to Europe and North America, where its expressive face and graceful demeanor quickly captured hearts. Today, the Chin remains a symbol of refined charm and affectionate companionship.
