The amazing character of “not quite dogs” chins owe a rich history of formation. The first mentions of similar dogs living in Japan date back to the 3rd century. Although the Pug, Chin and Pekingese definitely have a common ancestor, which means that the roots of the breed are much older. Already in the XIV century, breeders kept herd books, purposefully fixing a certain type of appearance and disposition.
They were always kept exclusively as decorative companions, and their distant ancestors lived only in the imperial families. Those raised to the rank of sacred animals could not be taken out of the country, so they only got to Europe in 1853.
