The Japanese Chin is described as more cat-like than canine. They are know to climb to the higher part of a room, such as tables or shelves.
Favored by Japanese Royalty, Japanese Chin have a history of being companion pets to imperial family members. They were presented as gifts and considered worth more than gold.
If you love both cats and dogs, the Japanese chin can be a good pet option.

"Owning a dog is not just a privilege; it’s a responsibility. They depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. When you take a dog into your life, you need to understand the commitment that dog ownership entails." ~ AKC
Adopted Pets are the best pets you can have. Most adoptable pets come from loving homes that simply cannot care for them anymore. Or they are strays who’ve been on their own without the loving care they deserve. ― Josh Duhamel
