Summary
About Japanese Chin
The Japanese Chin is a small, fine‑boned toy companion with a silky, low‑maintenance coat and expressive, upturned face. Catlike and graceful, it bonds deeply to one person, is calm and playful indoors, needs moderate exercise, and prefers gentle handling and a peaceful home.
About Large Münsterländer
Medium–large, athletic German gundog with a distinctive black‑and‑white, ticked coat. Intelligent, people‑oriented and affectionate, yet independent with strong hunting and prey drive. Needs experienced, active owners, plenty of daily exercise, training and mental stimulation to stay content.
