The Chin-Wa is a small-sized breed. Males typically weigh between 1.8 and 3.6 kg when fully grown, while females weigh 1.8 to 3.6 kg. With an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years, the Chin-Wa is a moderately long-lived breed.
The Chin-Wa is an energetic and affectionate breed that enjoys both playtime and cuddles. They are sociable dogs that generally get along well with other pets when properly introduced. Their alert nature makes them attentive companions, and they are quick to learn new commands when motivated by treats and praise.
Chin-Wa dogs need about 30-60 minutes of daily exercise including walks and play. They are more active than their size suggests and enjoy exploring new environments. A secure garden is beneficial for off-lead play. They adapt well to both apartment and house living, provided they get regular outdoor time.
Chin-Wa dogs may be prone to patellar luxation, dental disease, ear infections, and eye problems common in small breeds. Regular veterinary check-ups help catch issues early. Maintaining a healthy weight is important as even small amounts of excess weight can stress their joints. Annual health screenings are recommended.
Chin-Wa dogs benefit from regular brushing to maintain a healthy coat and manage shedding. Bathing every 4-6 weeks or as needed keeps the coat clean. Regular dental care, nail trimming, and ear cleaning are part of a good grooming routine. Check for any skin irritation, lumps, or parasites during grooming sessions.
