| Japanese Chins? Do any of you have any experience with the breed? My husbands grandmother breeds them and I would possibly like to get one (its a long shot, because I have to convince my husband to let me have one in our tiny little house since we already have 3 beautiful furbabies in it ). Does anyone know about thier temperment and behaviour? This is her website so you can see what they look like: http://hillviewcavaliers.com/chinsite/puppygallery.htm I think I would like a boy since I already have a bunch of girls. Would this be a bad idea?

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | got it from dog breed info The Japanese Spaniel is a charming, lively, and happy animal. Pleasant, loving and intelligent. Affectionate and extremely devoted to its master. This breed loves everyone. With its gentle ways and charming manners, it is perhaps best suited to homes in which there are no small children. If you do have small children, teach them to be nice and gentle with the dog. They are good with other dogs and pets. The Japanese Spaniel has a mind of its own and likes to be the center of attention. This breed is not a barker. Mild mannered, elegant, yet playful. Sensitive, agile, dainty and clean. This breed is more obedient than most toy breeds and are good dogs for learning tricks. They are also good watchdogs. |

| My in-laws have one. They shed awful. Blow snot out their nose. (because their nose is flat). They have a good temperament but I just can not get past the hair and the snot. |

A dog that can blow snot out of their nose is odd in my book. But since I have allergies, I wouldn't want a Chin. If you want one that badly, and can put up with the shedding, go ahead btw..they are cute though | |

Hmmmm, well, the other breeds that we are very much in love with and interested in possibly getting in the future (probobly distant future) is a bulldog, or brussels griffon(although I can not find any local breeders for this type of breed), or possibly another yorkie. Does anyone know if bulldogs or brussels shed bad?

| both those breeds shed. Don't let the short hair fool you..... It's short for a reason. I have allergies too and Yorkies are the BEST!!!!!!!!!! the only non shedding dogs I know of are the poodles..... the YORKIES..... maltese (which i have too) , a shih tzu....... the hairless chinese crested..... are there anymore I am missing? |

My chi doesnt bother me, I actually heard they are good for people with allergies (I read it somewhere so Im not sure if thats true or not). I know bichons are good for people with allergies too but I'm not really a fan of that breed. I really love bull dogs but I have a feelign they would shed as much as my boxer.

| Schnauzers don't shed and they're very good dogs, too. They are smart, loyal, playful, and easy to housetrain! We had a schnauzer, Heidi, before we got Bentley. She died unexpectedly at the age of 5, that was 2 years ago and I still miss her! My parents and my brother's family have always had schnauzers, in fact my brother and his wife are involved in a schnauzer rescue. |
