About Japanese chin
The Japanese Chin, also known as the Japanese Spaniel, originates from Japan, though its ancestors likely came from China or Korea. The name "Chin" means "dog" in Japanese. The breed was highly prized by Japanese nobility and was often given as gifts to foreign dignitaries. It was recognized by the AKC in 1888.
