Japanese Chins may have abundant coats, but these wash-and-go dogs are fine with once-a-week brushing routines to keep them looking elegant. Their coats rarely mat, except for their ear fringes, which may occasionally mat. These dogs also don't need to be trimmed. 

These well-mannered, intelligent pups are fast learners, although they can be stubborn at times. In addition, repetitive training bores them and makes them find ways to entertain themselves. Housetraining can also be difficult, although consistency and persistence go a long way.

 

These happy dogs get along with everyone, including cats and their fellow dogs. In addition, Japanese Chins are known as playful companions for older kids. However, their small size may not be suitable for younger kids as the dog may get injured. Although loving and devoted to the family, they tend to be shy around people/situations they're not familiar with. Overall, they're aloof until they get familiar with them.
