Description

The Jatese is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Japanese Chin and the Maltese. 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.

Blue the Jatese puppy at 12 weeks old—"Blue has an excellent temperament with our children. He loves to please and loves to be pampered. He sheds very little fur. My 9-year-old son is allergic to dogs but has no reaction to him. Blue does not bark that much. We are working on potty training him, teaching him where to sleep along with some tricks."
