Product Description
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.
Readers will come to know and love the little lap dog from the Far East after reading this detailed book on the Japanese Chin.

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.
