Frequently Asked Questions
Is it OK to choose a powerful name for a girl dog?

How do I choose if I have two puppies together?
Try names that complement each other but are phonetically distinct. Avoid similar sounding pairs like 'Milo' or 'Luna', as this might muddle the animals during training.

Like most dogs, Japanese Chin dogs react quickest to short names with clear consonant sounds. Avoid names that rhyme with basic words like sit, stay, or no.
Is it common to call a Japanese Chin after their physical traits?
Of course! Many Japanese Chin families draw naming cues from their dog's markings. Names like Shadow, Rusty, or Snowball are popular physical choices.
