@Consolation, some have more pushed in faces than others but I haven’t heard breathing problems being an issue.

What they don’t have are good teeth so you do have to brush them. I give mine doggy toothpaste on a baby’s toothbrush and she chews on it.

They don’t need grooming but mine gets a puppy cut ever couple of months because I like that look. Chins are very cat like (they love to be up high so walk along the backs of sofa’s and mine sits up there all the time.) They also groom themselves just like cats.

Going around in circles is a very Chin thing, too. Mine has a whole routine down - she doesn’t go down the steps of the deck until she’s circled three times. Coming into the house is two circles.
