About Us
Chiyoko is a small, private, in-home kennel of Japanese Chin located just south of Ottawa in the small town of Kars, Ontario, Canada.
Lloyd and I (Tracy), added a Japanese Chin puppy to our family in 2009, one woo-woo and we were completely smitten! "Can Champion Sweet Valley Sachio CGN" was everything you would want in a Chin, handsome, gentle, outgoing, funny and absolutely lovely in every way.

As our passion for Chin grew, we added stunning foundational lines from internationally successful show kennels "Roseheaven" (Denmark) and "Touche" (USA) to our family. We also named our kennel "Chiyoko". It means "child of a thousand generations" and is pronounced "Chee-O-Ko". It should be noted that, even though we are a permanently registered kennel with the Canadian Kennel Club, all of our chin live in our home. We do not have a separate "kennel" outbuilding.
As time went on, we naturally decided to continue our lines and discovered a passion for planning the next generation.
"LPH Chiyoko's Lacy" is an example of one of our puppies. Her parents were stunning, health tested, Champions. Her father was a CKC Grand Champion as well as an FCC Elite Champion with multiple group placements. With very limited showing he was the #5 Japanese Chin in Canada in 2014, owner-handled. Lacy's tiny mother also completed her championship quickly with back to back majors, owner-handled. Following in her parents pawprints, Lacy also grew into a stunning, health tested, Champion, owner-handled.

Occasionally we have puppies available. All of our puppies are home raised, Canadian Kennel Club registered, ISO microchipped, dewormed, examined for overall health and vaccinated by our veterinarian 3 times. They leave our home with a sale contract, including a limited health guarantee. It is not possible to 100% guarantee a dog won't have some health issue, but if the parents have been screened and selected for sound structure and health, the odds dramatically increase.
We are proud to be members of the Canadian Kennel Club, as well as our local club, the Ottawa Kennel Club.
