Tips on Grooming Your Japanese Chin

    Moderate Maintenance: Regular grooming with a brush and comb (twice a week) is required. To keep the coat white, the dog needs to be washed periodically.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Japanese Chin Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of everyday pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Japanese Chin dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Japanese Chin dog are activities that help to enhance the good relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Japanese Chin

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Japanese Chin Information

Small, lively and aristocratic, the Japanese Chin is a square-proportioned small dog. It has a bright, inquisitive expression — distinctly Oriental. A small amount of white shows in the inner corners of the eyes, imparting a look of astonishment. Its gait is stylish, lively and light. The single coat is abundant, straight and silky, tending to stand out from the body. The overall appearance is one of Oriental aristocracy.

The Japanese Chin is a devoted companion, relishing a warm lap as much as a boisterous game. It is sensitive and willing to please, tending to shadow its owner. It is a friend to all: strangers, dogs and pets. Its playfulness and gentleness make it a good child's companion for equally gentle children. The breed has been described as almost catlike — some even climb.
