Japanese Spaniel
The Japanese
Spaniel is gentle and affectionate, yet playful and
spirited, a small dog with a big personality. These dogs
can make ideal companions, and enjoy receiving and
giving attention. The Japanese Spaniel loves to be
cuddled and enjoys his doggy comforts. This is not the
right breed for those that do not have the time to
commit to a dog, as the Japanese Spaniel thrives on
attention and love from his owner. Some Japanese Spaniel
can be aloof or nervous around strangers, whereas others
will be quite polite - early socialization is important
in order to minimize on timidity. The Japanese Spaniel
does get along well with other pets, and therefore is a
good choice for those with family pets.
The Japanese Spaniel has a very elegant,
high-stepping gait. Their fashionably feathered tail
curls up over their backs. They are almost as long as
they are tall, with straight, front legs that are
impressively fine-boned. Their upside-down, v-shaped
ears are well-covered with hair. This breed, also called
the Japanese Chin, has a thick ruff that covers the neck
and chest area. This dainty little spaniel has a broad
face with softly feathered coat. They have short, broad
faces, round foreheads, and a well-defined stop. Their
coat markings usually match their nose color. For
example, a black and white Japanese Spaniel is expected
to have a black nose. They have a really short nasal
canal with a wide nose and open nostrils. Their
protruding eyes are dark, expressive, and almond-shaped.
