Nanjen Japanese Chin

Nanjen Japanese Chin, Japanese chin in Sandown, NH, is a family breeder serving Rockingham County near Manchester with a focus on preserving the breed’s gentle companionship and distinctive appearance. Its breeding dogs undergo thorough health screening, including patella evaluation, cardiac auscultation and ophthalmologic exams, to identify and address issues common in Japanese chin lines.

Puppies live underfoot in the home, enjoy daily socialization with family members and are introduced early to household sounds, gentle handling and basic training routines. Breeding lines are selected for structural soundness, level toplines and expressive eyes, with an emphasis on the chin’s playful nature and companionable spirit.

Nancy Jenkins provides ongoing support and practical advice for each puppy’s first year, sharing resources on nutrition, grooming and health maintenance to help families build a lasting bond. Litters are timed with the dam’s recovery in mind, ensuring each brood benefits from balanced care and attention during early development.
