Here are some recent pictures of our wonderful Japanese Chin!

This is Chin-Chin, our first Chin. We got him in 2001, a rescue from a Pet Shop in Brooklyn, NY. The owner claimed to have breed him at his home/store but reality he was bred in Minnesota, sold to a broker, sold to the Pet Shop, and then sold to me. When we got him, he was unable to eat or even drink on his own.

Here is Mikado. We got him from a reputable Japanese Chin breeder (Faith Milton in   Gettysburg, PA). We acquired him in January of 2002. He took a 3-point Major from the Puppy Class in his first weekend out at a Dog Show. Unfortunately, the next day one of his testicles went back up into his body and never descended again - so we could no longer show him.

And here is Ebi - we got her in Aug 2002 when she was 1 years old from Pat Suggs and Janice Say in Shelbyville, KY. Ebi was the first Chin we took to Championship. She was also the first female we used for breeding. She has produced wonderful and Show Chin and Pet Chin.

Ki Shoubi is also from Faith Milton. We got her in April 2003.  In her first litter she had SIX puppies. She was a good Mother to her puppies, but she needed help from us to make sure all six puppies were getting enough food. It took a lot of work (and love), but all six puppies made it and are doing well today.

Here is our Oreo - She is the offspring of our first breeding (Mikado and Ebi).  She is only one win away from her Championship.

Myougi is our first Red and White, from Dale Martensen in Texas. We got him as a puppy in July 2004. He became our second Champion and is one of our main stud dogs. We have used him to produce many beautiful Japanese Chin puppies.

One of Ki Shoubi's six puppies mentioned earlier, Oshii Son is another of our Show Dogs. He was also bred to Ebi and one of their daughters is also a Show Dog.

Another of Ki Shoubi's six puppies, Gosai is our first (and so far, only) sable. He is quite a jumper and has caused us to buy taller and taller gates to use when we separate the boys from the girls in heat.

And again, another of Ki Shoubi's six puppies - Braveheart. She got her name because she was born with her intestines on the outside of her body (if you seen the movie Braveheart, you will understand the connection). We thought she would not make it, but the vet put the intestines back inside of her and sewed her up, and she is doing well.

She is our first tri-color and is only one major win away from her Championship. She recently (in May) gave birth to three Red and White puppies (Myougi, a Red and White, was the father of the puppies).

And this is the last of Ki Shoubi's six puppies that we kept (we placed the other two). Tenshi is a beautiful girl, and would have been a Show Dog except she has her tongue hanging out of the left side of her mouth. Because of this, we could not show her and will not breed her because we don't want to pass this trait on.
