VACCINATION - WHAT, when & WHY?

12/10/2025

Dr. W. Jean Dodds, DVM research recommends a vaccine protocol for companion dogs where minimal vaccinations are advisable or desirable. As Japanese Chin can be "delicate flowers", this is the schedule I recommend and use. I've experienced fewer side effects and complications than decades ago when we traditionally, and unnecessarily, vaccinated annually because we just didn't know any better...

I have been smitten with Chin since first meeting one almost 2 decades ago. I feel fortunate to have not only met, but to have had the opportunity to add this captivating little breed as a beloved part of my family. There is no doubt in my mind that the Chin truly is "the dog world's best kept secret".

Over the years I have advanced from simply enjoying/owning a chin, into showing conformation. It seemed only natural to carry on and venture into breeding.

It is my intention to share some of this journey in this blog, as well as all "things" Chin. I hope you enjoy. If you have questions or would like to chat, please do reach out!
