"Dog Experts Reveal: 15 Breeds That Will Make Your Home Life Amazing"

4. The Japanese Chin Is Great With Kids

The Japanese Chin stands as the ideal opposite of the popular belief that small dogs are naturally aggressive. Particularly in their dealings with children, these sophisticated and polished friends perfectly mix softness and sociability. Their extraordinary flexibility and innate fondness for human company have won them much-earned respect in the realm of therapeutic work. Reflecting their desire to remain close to their loved ones, the breed's propensity to create deep bonds to its human family members has resulted in their affectionate nickname as "velcro dogs." These canines are especially intriguing because of their cat-like behaviour, which shows a unique mix of canine allegiance with feline grace and independence.

Their small size makes them particularly fit for urban living or for people who would want a more portable friend. Though little, Japanese Chins have a bold and dignified attitude that belies their weight. Families looking for a small but clever friend will find great value in their extraordinary ability to adjust to various family dynamics, paired with their kind demeanour and low exercise needs.
