Elisabeth Legl has written an in-depth revision of her book, The Japanese Chin: The Dog from the Land of the Rising Sun. The Japanese Chin is said to be of royal blood, and was once available only to the very elite. Now you may find them in every corner of the globe, delighting their owners with their cat-like personalities. This book explains the history of the breed, influential kennels throughout the world, and the care and maintenance of the dog. There is an updated section on health issues that owners should be aware of, and information on activities that the owner and the Japanese Chin can enjoy together. She has included a piece written by Dale Mortenson, a long time breeder, on choosing a Chin puppy, as well as a thorough discussion of the breed standard. There is also an eight page color section of many of the champions and other beautiful Japanese Chin.
