Japanese Chin / Pomeranian Mixed Breed Dogs

Information and Pictures

Kona the Chineranian Puppy is sitting outside in dirt and looking past the camera holder and Yuki the Chineranian Puppy is laying behind him

"These are pictures that I have taken of our puppies, Kona at 5.5 months weighing 6 pounds and Yuki at 3.5 months weighing 3.5 pounds. Kona is the black and white puppy. He is actually a 3/4 Japanese Chin 1/4 Pomeranian mix (his mom was a half/half Chineranian, and his dad was a full Japanese Chin), while Yuki the brown and cream puppy is a straight across half/half Chineranian. They are both very loving, affectionate, and playful. Kona is Soooo smart, He loves to learn tricks, and was house trained within 2 weeks of us bringing him home. They are not very yappy dogs, and when they do make noise, it's more of a baying kind of noise. It's very amusing. They like to dig and sometimes try to dig on regular surfaces like beds, wood floors, carpets. Kona loves his daily walks, Yuki, not so much. They are best friends. We find that they are more balanced and obedient when they have daily walks. I feel that applying the principles taught by the Dog Whisperer have helped us to create a balanced, happy home for our dogs—they have boundaries that keep them safe and in return they are truly a joy to be around."

Description

The Chineranian is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Japanese Chin and the Pomeranian. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
