Oasis aka Indy

​We are so excited to share an update on our girl, Indy (aka Oasis)!
We had lost our last fur baby (Chin and Chihuahua Mix) about a year and a half ago. When I was finally ready to fill that hole in my heart I just knew Bobbie was the breeder for me!  From day one in working with Bobbie everything has gone so smoothly. From her quick phone outreach after seeing my inquiry, to the care of each pup after they are born (and sharing a 24/7 video feed so we'd fall in love immediately)... all the way through to exchanging text messages with new owners (sharing pictures and hearing the joys and struggles of having a new puppy in the house) Bobbie has been AMAZING! We had our sights on our little girl from day one...and crossed our fingers and toes that by the time the picking order got to us she would still be available...and as fate would have it she was! She was meant to live in our home. She travelled cross country on a red-eye flight and was a brave girl. Once she arrived into our home Indy acclimated so well! She has 5 and 8 year old "brothers" who are balls of energy, and she keeps up with them! She is feisty, fierce and playful when she wants to be...and chill, relaxed and cuddly too! We are so grateful to have been blessed with her in our lives!

​ It was a very easy and pleasant experience doing business with ChinnyChinChin Kennel,  Bobbie answered all questions almost immediately.  I rate ChinnyChinChin  Five stars.  A+ responsible breeder.  The contracts show just how much responsibility they take in ensuring a healthy pet.  You can tell they are really concerned about their dogs and puppies.     The moms and dads are beautiful.  I also enjoyed watching my puppy grow up on the web cam I watched my puppy grow daily, "so fun".  Bobbie is a very responsible breeder and you will see as you watch the webcam.  You can see how much she cares.   Seeing the process of birth to home also helped with the transition from their home to ours.  Our puppy came pee pad trained, big plus.   I am very happy the purchase of our new chin and she is so sweet.

Harmony aka Mochi

We are extremely happy to have Mochi (aka Harmony) as a new family member. She is curious, energetic, brave and unbelievably adorable. She melted our hearts.My daughter kept talking about Japanese Chin and we were looking for a reliable breeder. We were so lucky to find Chinny Chin Chin through American Kennel Club site. We wanted to make sure to purchase a healthy puppy from a trustworthy breeder as our first dog adopted from a shelter had a few problems. At first we were worried about purchasing a puppy out of state but soon felt comfortable as we visited the homepage which frequently updates. Bobbie responded immediately to our questions and sent us pictures of Mochi. We used a pet nanny service to fly Mochi into San Jose. The nanny was very kind and she had kept an eye to Mochi the whole flight. During the wait, our family enjoyed watching Mochi growing up through the live cam. My daughter especially enjoyed watching puppies while she was confined at home due to COVID-19 and the wildfires. It brought us a lot of joys during the hard time.
​Thank you Bobbie!

Buddy aka Ollie

​ We lost our last Chin, Oreo back in March due to old age. He was 15 years old. He was my best bud and probably the best dog I've ever had! I didn't want another dog because no dog could ever top Oreo. After a few months, I couldn't take it any longer and had to get another Chin. Ollie is now my 3rd Chin. There are no better dogs!! So loyal! So faithful! So Smart!! I watched him grow hours after he was born thanks to Bobbie. She took such good care of the pups! They were never without food, mama's milk and toys! 

Their pen was kept super clean! The Pet Nanny was an added bonus. After checking what it would have costed me to go up there and back in gas, hotel, food and time, it was worth the extra cost! So convenient and Lance, the pet nanny that flew with Ollie to Salt Lake City was really nice and cared about the pup.
Ollie is almost 5 months old now and plays by his own rules! At first, he tried to show me who was the boss. Pottied in the house! I quickly squashed that! No spankings necessary! He's very smart! Took about 3 weeks to train. He has got to be the most playful dog I've ever had!!! Never stops playing with his toys. His favorite is the one that Bobbie sent with him that Lance gave me. He's got about 7 squeaky toys and goes from one to the other for hours. The other day, a Wolf Spider ran across the living room floor and Ollie went at it like it was an intruder! Never seen anything like it. He also likes to get the 2 Rottweilers next door to us worked up! I know he does it on purpose. Walks up to the chain link fence, sits about a foot from it and wait for the Rotts. Once they show up, Ollie make an aggressive move and the Rotts go insane and Ollie simply turns and walks away with a satisfied look on his cute little face. He defiantly has an attitude. I LIKE IT!!! Thanks for everything Bobbie!

Honey aka Serafina

​
I am thrilled with my new Japanese chin! We named her Serafina and she is just over 8 weeks old. We got to watch her 24/7 on live cam and enjoyed watching her grow with her siblings and her attentive mother Hazel. Bobbie kept the play pen clean and secure and provided toys and outings as they were ready for it.

All of the paperwork and terms of adoption were clearly mapped out. Bobbie answered all of our questions through phone and text. She also met me promptly at the airport for the stork exchange of our puppy.

Today we had our required well puppy Exam with our family vet and she passed with flying colors! We were tickled that all the workers in the vet office had been waiting all day to see our rare and beautiful Serafina. What fun! She is 3.4 pounds today and is reaching up to smell her first flower, a marigold!

Thank you Bobbie for my wonderful puppy. We finally named her Sophie! She is spunky and sweet and is easily being potty trained. I was so happy to be able to follow her development on your puppy camera’s until I could pick her up. Glad we made the trip from California to pick her up. Your home was spotless and set up so well for the pups and parents! And of course meeting you and your husband reassured me that your business is one of love and caring for your Dog family. Thanks again for a great experience!!

​
Working with breeder Bobbie Brown and Chinnychinchin kennel was such a pleasure! From the day I decided to take the leap and bring another chin into our family, Bobbie made the process simple. Starting at birth, we were able to watch Milo day and night on a video feed which gave the chance to get to know him and his personality. Bobbie was gracious and sent head shots throughout the 8 week wait. We used the pet nanny from Oregon to California and it was seamless! Milo arrived as a perfectly healthy and extremely well socialized pup! He came with a care package filled with everything needed to get him settled. We are in love and very grateful to Chinnychinchin and Bobbie for all her time and efforts!

Getting our puppy through Chinnychinchin Kennels was wonderful start to finish. Bobbie was there via email or text to answer any questions we had, and her waitlist process was very transparent and easy. 
We have been so happy to welcome our newest addition. You can tell that the breeder really cares about her puppies and treats all of her dogs ethically and with care. Should we ever want to get another Japanese Chin puppy in the future, this is the only breeder I will go to!

Othello aka Boomer

​
We were so happy with our experience with Bobbie in getting our first adorable Japanese chin, two years ago that we returned recently for our second one.  We now have a red and white named, “Willie” and a black and white named “Boomer”. Both were received from Bobbie in excellent health and easily transitioned into our family.  Both happy loving puppies that were already trained to a pee pad and quickly learned to go outside to the backyard. Our experience with her and her kennel has been  all around positive.
Our second experience came with the ability to watch our puppy on camera while we waited for him to get old enough to come home with us.  This was a lot of fun and we learned to recognize his markings and distinguish him from the other puppies while he was growing.  Being a part of his early weeks by watching him was an extra special treat since normally we wouldn’t have seen him from the very beginning.
We chose to drive up to Bobbie’s kennel from Southern California both times we worked with her and found her home environment and dogs to be clean and bright and a great place for our puppies to have started out.  I found working with Bobbie and her website very easy and straightforward and have been thrilled to have found her. I would recommend her and her kennel to anyone interested in a Japanese chin and am grateful to have found her.

​DOB 3/21/2020

​Odessa’s appt. went well. Fecal test was negative. Her checkup confirmed the perfect condition she’s in. Our vet is very impressed on how healthy she is. I told her all you do to ensure your puppies are healthy & socialized. Odessa (Kayda-Japanese girl’s name meaning little dragon) is AMAZING! She goes to the back door to be let out to go potty. She gets along with the other 2 dogs. She’s laid back with a bubbly puppy side. It’s refreshing to not have a finicky eater like our other Chins were/are. I play dog calming music for her to sleep well. If she wakes up & starts crying, she wants to go out & potty even though there’s a pee pad. She does her business & back to sleep she goes! What a treasured blessing she is! We can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful fur baby 😊

​DOB 10/1/2019

​Bobbie was the first breeder we ever worked with and from the very start she was amazing! She would get back to us with very clear answers to any of our questions really fast.  When our little guy came into the world not only did she send us updated photos of him, we got to watch a live cam of him with his mother, brothers and sisters. This really got us attached and made us feel like we were really part of his life from the beginning. We could also see how much thought, love and work Bobbie puts into everything she does.  When it was time to have our little guy flown all the way to NYC, Bobbie was right there with us every step of the way. 
Right after we got our little guy, the very first week he must of ate something wrong and ended up at the vet. Bobbie was right there with us to make sure everything was ok. 5 months later we could not be happier, we have a perfectly healthy, beautiful well behaved little prince! 
Thank you so much Bobbie for bringing us the love of our lives

Bubbles aka Suki
DOB October 17, 2019

     I wanted to tell you how much we love our baby girl Suki, Bubbles to you, became Suki to us.  She has the sweetest temperament, and for barely 5 lbs she is a bundle of energy. She and my other rescue terrierish have really bonded, and thankfully for us, the older dog plays with the puppy all the time. Good thing, we hadn’t had a puppy for 15 years, one forgets the puppy energy!  She is so friendly, wants to greet everyone we meet.  My old Chin and I used to do lots of things together, shopping mostly, and lots of people/kids would come up to us and want to pet her.  I was always so glad that she was receptive.  I know Suki will be the same. When we go for walks she always wants to visit with everyone we meet, unfortunately a little hard to do 6 feet apart.  When we can be out in the world again, I know she will love the adventures.
     One more thing, in watching the puppy cam from the moment she was born, I always noticed you turned off the lights at bedtime. This was wonderful training.  The first night we got home from picking her up at LAX, (which went very well), I thought was going to be tough -no Mama or sister, but when we put her in her pen, and turned the lights out, not peep out of her. She sleeps on the bed now of course!
Thank you again for our baby.  She has brought a lot of joy & laughs to us while we have been hunkered down these 6 months.

January 2020 ~ Jelly aka Wonder
​DOB 11/18/2018

​It's been 1 year since we picked our little one at the airport and she has been a bright spot in our lives ever since.  
She was 0.9 lbs when we got her and she is now up to just shy of 5 lbs.  Our vet wouldn't spay her until she was at least 4 lbs, so she is scheduled for surgery this Thursday.
She is awesome.  She is feisty and playful but also very snuggly and cuddly.  Give LOTS of kisses.  
She is the superstar everywhere we take her - especially the vet; the technicians love her.  I've even had strangers ask to take pictures of her!
Jelly is also a great traveler.  I took her on a 6 hour plane ride to Seattle for a weekend and she was a perfect angel.  
She has settled in well with my other 2 Chins.  They all love each other.
Bobbie, when the time comes for us to get another Chin we will definitely contact you.  You have beautiful Chins and are wonderful to work with.  Thank you for allowing us to adopt our little darling.

December 2019 ~ Breezy

 This is long over due but wanted to send you an update on Kioko.  She is the greatest dog and loves everyone as everyone loves her.  She was very easy to potty train and has been very easy to train in general.  She loves to go for walks and meet anyone or any dog she can.  More interested and excited to meet people probably because they tell her how cute she is.  I am also told how spoiled she is but we refer to it as privileged.
She still plays with the ball you gave her even though all the inside is broken and gone.  It is still one of her favorite toys.  Bully slims are her absolute favorite thing to chew on but they, like everything else, can only be chewed in certain spots as there truly is a time and place for everything with her.
She is an absolute joy and I am very fortunate to have her.  At some time I will have to get another one but not sure when that will be.  I think she would like little brother or sister.
What a great little dog and you did an excellent job with her.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

February 2019~ Dexter

We lost our Japanese Chin, Michi, 7 months ago on July 4th. We found him in a shelter when he was 3 and he lived for another 10 years even though his heart was poor early on.
Pet stores were out of the question so I started to search the internet. I couldn't believe our good fortune when I found ChinnyChinChin. I watched the site for a while and bit the bullet last month. Dexter (Indy) arrived 3 days ago, and we are in heaven. Indy is an extremely well adjusted puppy; he feels right at home and is very happy. We are enjoying him to the fullest! Bobbie worked with me and was very patient and honest with my inquiries. This was the first time we had gotten a dog sight-unseen. I already had a good feeling watching him in videos but never imagined he would be as perfect as he is.
Additionally, he made the trip from Oregon to New York with a wonderful nanny, and Indy showed no signs of distress upon arrival. I give Bobbie and ChinnyChinChin the highest rating as is possible as well as the nanny, Hubert. Thank you, Bobbie We are in love!

December 2018~ Smitty & Sebastian

​I originally bought one pup (Sebastian) from Bobbie. She was easy to communicate with and always sent a picture or video when I asked. Sebastian was so sweet and to see him with his brother (smitty) we knew we just had to get both of them. The pet nanny she used was great! He keep in contact to let me know where to meet. The process went very smoothly. We’ve had the puppies for about a week. They are so sweet and smart. My family is so in love with them. I highly recommend Bobbie as she is a great breeder and very easy to deal with. I was hesitant to put down a deposit to someone I hadn’t met or knew nothing about. After I read others testimonies I decided to do it. Best decision I’ve made!!! Thank-you Bobbie!

November 2018~ LaffyTaffy

​​It has been over a week since Laffy Taffy came into our home.  The moment I saw him on the internet I couldn't get him out of my mind.  And when I showed him to my daughter, she said, "Mom you're going to regret it if you don't buy him."  With that sentence, Laffy Taffy became a part of our family.  However, buying a dog sight unseen was unsettling at best knowing that I would send money for a dog to a breeder that I knew nothing about other than what's on the internet.  Little did I know I was in great hands.  The process of buying Laffy Taffy and flying him via a pet nanny, was incredibly easy because of Bobbie.  Everything went according to plan and the communication was nonstop with Bobbie and the pet nanny especially during the flights taken from Oregon to Tampa.  Today, our two pound Laffy Taffy is adorable, smart and just about housebroken.  He's scared of nothing and has the heart of a lion.  I thank Bobbie for raising such a happy, healthy and beautiful Japanese Chin that has brought us so much joy and laughter.

​​I purchased a puppy from Bobbie the first part of July. Bobbie was quick to respond, easy to deal with and made purchasing a puppy from out of state easy. The puppy showed up, clean, happy, and healthy. Panda has been a real sweetheart since day one, she is outgoing and loving. You can definatly tell, Bobbie spends time with her puppies as they are well socialized and acclimated into my environment very easily. The pet nanny service she used was wonderful and professional. Thanks!

​Another story about Spunky.  We have a pet 7 stroller from Chewy and are getting much enjoyment from it with Spunky.  The weather was warm last Friday and we asked if we could bring Spunky into a restaurant in Newport.  He was in his stroller and they were very accommodating.  I told them that he doesn't bark and won't make a noise.  We sat at the back with him next to me and he could watch people coming in.  As we got ready to leave different ones hadn't realized there was any pet inside.. Every where we go we are always asked what breed he is.  There were some workmen down the street who wanted to take him home.  He gets so excited when people talk to him and he goes on little walks and has met some neighbors who have fallen for him too!!
Tuesday, yesterday Stan had an appointment for a hearing test in Newport.  We brought him in his stroller and did he get the attention.  Two fellows were there to do the testing but before it was done, they both had to take turns holding him.  When I was going to put him back in his stroller, he made a grunting noise pushing away from me.  I asked if there was a restroom near by as Spunky needed to use his pee pad.  They both couldn't believe this but right away he went.  I love being very in tune to him and I truly believe God sent us to you that day we adopted him.  He is worth every penny.
