Are Japanese Chins good with kids?

Yes, Japanese Chins can be great with kids, making them a suitable choice for families.

As with any dog breed, it’s important to supervise interactions between Japanese Chins and young children to ensure that play remains safe for both the dog and the child. Children should be taught how to interact with dogs respectfully, including not pulling on the dog’s ears or tail, not disturbing them while they are eating or sleeping, and understanding the dog’s body language. Given their small size, Japanese Chins can be more fragile than larger breeds, so extra care should be taken to prevent accidental injury from rough play or being accidentally stepped on.

Early socialization with children and various environments helps Japanese Chins become well-adjusted and comfortable around kids, and ensuring that interactions with children are positive and rewarding helps build a good relationship between the dog and the child.
