Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A delightful and affectionate toy dog hailing from the Land of the Rising Sun, the Japanese Chin is counted among the world’s most beloved companion dogs, a breed that author Juliette Cunliffe describes as a 'happy little character with a down-to-earth, yet bumptious, personality.' Despite his small size, the Chin has a larger-than-life approach to the world: alert, spirited and friendly to all whom he encounters. As a home companion, the Japanese Chin demands affection and little else, being a naturally clean pet, often compared to a cat in cleanliness, sophistication and self-awareness.
This new Comprehensive Owner’s Guide provides an entertaining portrait of the Chin’s origins and history, the breed’s physical characteristics and temperament as well as the special requirements of the new owner. Owners will welcome the author’s advice on selecting a healthy, typical Chin puppy, rearing, feeding and house-training the pup, plus obedience lessons, home safety and grooming. Additionally, a lavishly illustrated chapter on preventive healthcare by Dr. Lowell Ackerman provides up-to-date accurate information on inoculations, parasite control, selecting a veterinarian and other topics vital to the ownership of a healthy pure-bred dog. Whether you are a long-time owner and breeder of the Chin or a newcomer to the Chin clan, this new volume will be a welcome addition to your breed library.

I bought my Chin several months ago and spent quite a bit of time looking for information about the breed. This is the First, and only book I have found on them. It is a pretty good book, but not in as much detail as the books I have bought for my Pomeranian and for my Whippet.
It seems that they are pretty rare in this area, Pittsburgh Pa., as I have only found one other person with one. So I am very happy with the information in this book. Plus, I don't understand why they are called Japanese Chin when they originated in China.

I felt like I was ten years old again being scolded by my mother while reading this book. The author manages to be as demeaning as possible to adults who read it. With continous comments like are you sure you're responsible enough to have a pet? Maybe you should try a fish. Comments like this are relentless throughout the book. It was like the author wanted to make you feel like a retard or something.
However, that's not to say that the book is without its merits (hence the 2 stars not just one). There's allot of information here on caring for your Japenese Chin as well as some interesting history on the species. Anyway, if your alright with being spoken to as if you were a 2 year old you can't go wrong with the price. Just be forewarned, the author is down right irritating at times. To the author: I wouldn't be purchasing the book if I didn't already have the dog, stop with the lecturing already!

This is a good over all manual for raising a Japanese Chin. Interesting history of the breed, breed standards, health needs and warnings, training techniques and hints, and all the fun stuff. I found it to be all I needed.

This book is good for a beginner, but if you already own a Chin then look elsewhere. This book offers the same information that can be gleaned from a google search.

Gives lots of information, nice pictures. If you know alot about the breed already, this is not the book for you. Most of the information is readily available elsewhere. If you are a novice to the Japanese Chin Breed, then this is a good start. Lots of information in one place.
