Adopted as the highly prized pet of royalty, the Japanese Chin was originally sent as a gift from the Empress of Japan to the Empress of China. Queens Victoria and Alexandra both fancied this Toy breed. The authors trace its origin from Oriental beginnings to present day status as a glamorous companion and show dog, and offer an in-depth analysis of the breed Standards, and a special section on caring for this lively extroverted dog. Pamela Cross Stern and Tom Mather are both international judges with decades of personal experience in the breed.
