MAC’S MYSTERY MUTT

The breed is first and foremost bred as a companion dog. Despite the name

the breed is native to the land of China. It was later developed in Japan and

introduced to Europe in 1700. It became a favorite of Japanese nobility, and

was often offered as a royal gift to diplomats and to foreigners who

rendered some outstanding service to Japan. In 1853 a pair was given as a

gift to Queen Victoria from Commodore Perry when he returned from his

historic mission to open Japan to world trade.

It is a little spaniel whose only bred purpose is to serve man as a

companion. The dog has a large broad head, large wide-set eyes, and a short

broad muzzle. The ears are small, V-shaped, wide apart, and set slightly

below the crown of the skull, and well covered with hair. The forehead is

quite round. The stop is deep, and the muzzle is short and broad. The nose

is wide with an extremely short nasal canal. The eyes are protruding, set

wide apart, large, round, and dark in color. The bite is slightly undershot.

The body height and length are about the same. The front legs are straight,

and fine boned, with the elbows set close to the body. The tail is set high

and carried arched up over the back hanging to either side of the dog with

and build of the dog or bitch but is normally around 2 - 7kgsThe breed is a

charming, lively, and happy animal. Pleasant, loving and intelligent.

Affectionate and extremely devoted to its master. This breed loves

everyone it is familiar with, but is known to be reserved around strangers

and in unfamiliar situations, socialise this dog well. If you do have small

children, teach them to be nice and gentle with the dog. They are good with

other dogs and pets. The dog has a mind of its own and likes to be the

centre of attention.

The breed are very intelligent little dogs, they can be taught to perform

tricks.
