This book has everything on the Japanese Chin. It is the best book ever written on the breed for history in the East and the West, personality, care, nutrition, health problems and much more. It is not only for people who want to have a show dog but also for the petowners. In other words a complete and thorough book - a must for anyone interested in the Japanese Chin.

The Japanese Chin: Dog From The Land Of The Rising Sun by Elisabeth Legl is both a celebration of this unique breed of dog having its origins in ancient Japan, and a very practical guide for owners of a Chin on matters ranging from dealing with a sick or injured dog to housebreaking, training, breeding, and showing. Black-and-white photographs illustrate this superbly written manual which is enthusiastically recommended for Japanese Chin owners everywhere.

Excellent book on the history and breeding of Japaneses Chins. Good on all aspects of Chins. A must for Chin owners and breeders.

We bought this in preparation for getting a Chin, and the history, specificities of the breed, photos, were all very well written/chosen. Having read any number of books on various other breeds of dogs, this book ranks as probably the best/most complete I've read (n.b. I have not read the other Japanese Chin books available).

If you have a Japanese Chin, this book is a must. My husband & I loved it. We couldn't put it down. What a find!!!!

Of the two books we have on the Japanese Chin, this was by far the most useful.

The book takes bits and pieces of history and tries to put it together. Didn't think it was a great book about Chin's.
