Just where exactly did this sweet and adorable little lap toy
dog, the Japanese Chin originate? As with many of our toy dog
breeds, there are several theories for us to remember as the
history of this toy dog breed.
There is plenty of evidence that the Japanese Chin can be traced
back to the dogs that arrived in Japan as precious gifts from
China and Korea over 1,100 years ago. The Japanese Chin is one
of the most ancient breeds of dogs.
The exact history of the Japanese Chin is difficult to
determine, however, evidence exists that at the end of the first
century A.D., the Chinese had a type of dog known as ‘Pai’.
Canine breed authorities say the ‘Pai’ was a very small,
short-headed and short-legged dog. One canine breed writer,
Collier, tells us there is little doubt the Japanese race of
small dogs originated from China. It is fact that trade and
association between the two nations date back as far as the
fifth century. During the period of Tein Wu Ti (A.D. 673-686)
and Ch’ih T’ung Ti (A.D. 690-696), Korea and China constantly
gave small pet dogs to Japan.
As with many of our toy dog breeds there are various theories
about the origin of the Japanese Chin. Some suggest they come
from Korea and that a Korean prince went to Japan taking gifts
for the Mikado in A.D. 732. The gifts included tiny dogs with
flat noses which resemble our present day Japanese Chin. In
those days they were called Shoku-Ken. They were definitely
different from the dogs in Japan at that time which was of the
Spitz type.
Another theory of the origin of our Japanese Chin states that as
early as 520 A.D., Buddish monks took Shoku-Ken from China to
Japan when they went to preach as missionaries. The dogs were
said to be a symbol of the sacred Lion of Buddha.
Other people believe the Japanese Chin were of the Imperial
Ch’in that supposedly originated in China. The Imperial Ch’in
dogs were only owned by Chinese royalty. This seems to be the
case of several of our purebred toy dogs. We are so very
fortunate now that not only the wealthy have access and the
companionship of the purebred toy dog.
It has also been said that the last Empress of China kept 50 of
these dogs in the throne room. When the Empress entered the room
story goes that these little dogs would line up from door to
throne, standing on their hind legs and bowing until she was
seated.
It has been said, however, that because the Japanese Chin is not
the easiest of dogs to train, the thought of 50 of them doing
this in perfect unison was a bit too much to believe.
Other relatives of the Chinese Imperial Ch’in were the Chinese
Temple Dog, the Japanese Spaniel, the Pekingese and the Chow.
They resemble each other in my opinion.
With all we know about the Japanese Chin today I believe it is
reasonable to assume that at least in the very beginning was an
Oriental breed. We also know the early days of the Japanese Chin
were spent with people of nobility or very high rank and were
considered as something very valuable and precious. It is my
opinion as well that this “precious look” that seems to glow
from the faces of the Japanese Chin is the result of some of
that pampering and adoration. The Japanese Chin is a delightful
little lap toy dog companion for us today, and is still
considered valuable and precious for all who truly love this
breed.
