I have found that all I've owned had great temperments but all had different personalities. Two of mine were great travelers. The other two were extremely shy and stayed home. Mine were not fond of children and were all fragile. However compared to the Yorkies I've owned, low maintenance and not at all demanding. Chins tend to be easily house trained, attach themselves to a family member, love to please. Chins, as all pushed in faced dogs, don't do well in the heat. I adore this breed but as any, must research breeders carefully. Years ago they were difficult to obtain but now they are bred by puppy mills. I've owned many toy breeds over the years, Yorkies and Chins were the only breeds I've chosen to repeat.
