I’ll bet this sweet little puppy was sitting on the sofa with her owner while watching Westminster and thinking…”Someday I’m going to be on that green carpet, too!”  Do you know this breed?  This puppy is a Japanese Chin.  This breed is a member of the Toy Group and originated in China as a companion dog for royalty.  They were bred to accompany the ladies of the Imperial Palace and warm the laps of Chinese aristocracy.  Today they are wonderful family dogs, very intelligent, playful and affectionate.  Most often the coat is black and white, but the breed can also be red and white in color.  I met this little pup at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show last month in Allentown, Pa.
