The true origin of the Chin remains a matter of controversy. It is widely agreed that these dogs originated in China.
They are traditionally the dogs of Japanese nobility and royalty.
They were took to Japan by a Chinese hunter.
Originally called the Japanese Spaniel, and still referred by that name by some clubs, the Japanese Spaniel was renamed "Japanese Chin" by the AKC in 1977. The Japanese Chin was first and foremost bred as a companion dog. Despite the name "Japanese" the breed is native to the land of China. It was later developed in Japan and introduced to Europe in 1700. It became a favorite of Japanese nobility, and was often offered as a royal gift to diplomats and to foreigners who rendered some outstanding service to Japan. In 1853 a pair was given as a gift to Queen Victoria from Commodore Perry when he returned from his historic mission to open Japan to world trade.

There are lots of dog breeds that start with J, like the Jack Russell Terrier, the Japanese Chin, the Japanese Spitz, the Jindo, plus lots of mixed breeds, like the Jug (jack Russell terrier/pug), the Jatese (Japanese chin/Maltese), the Jatzu (Japanese chin/shih tzu), the Jarkie (Japanese chin/yorkie), the Jaland (Japanese chin/westie), and tons more.
A Japanese Chin is a purebred dog,but many hundreds of years ago is probably was.
It depends on your Japanese Chin. My Japanese Chin has a stomach of iron and has eaten many pencils right down to the metal eraser holder.
