Issues with the Yorkie I put a deposit on..

I think my siggy says all you need to know about my thoughts on rescue.

You'll need to read up on the Japanese Chin a bit, if the petfinder doggie comes home to you!

I LOVE Japanese Chins. I do think Sandy had very good advice to you though on reading up on the breed before you get one. Two things come to mind, first I think that Chins are quite a bit bigger than Joey or the Yorkie you were looking into (like 16 pounds), and although they are an affectionate breed they can be quite stand-offish. And although Japanese chin do not have the bulging eyes that some Asian dogs have, I would still be careful with the kitties. She is adorable. Good luck.
