Meet the breeder

I'm Cindy L., the breeder behind CindyLynnsChins located in Longwood, FL. We follow all appropriate steps to raising well-socialized puppies as companions. No AKC or ACA registration as I have just had a hard time getting registrations/cooperation from previous breeders. Since we do not show or compete we get their health checked/first shots and offer as charming and entertaining pets born and raised in my home.

Q. & A. with Cindy

Why did you start breeding?
I met my first chin at a pet store. My son begged me to save her. A little female being jumped all over and not feeling well so I bought her for $700 took her to the vet and made the pet store pay all the vet bills. Her name was Suki and then we added Boo and Kimiko. Needless to say I was hooked. That was in 2008 and have had Chins in my home ever since. Fell in love with the half cat half dog Royal breed! I have also fostered and found loving homes for 8 other chins.
What makes your program special?
I just love the breed and found them hard to find in Florida. This is my third litter in 15 years and I enjoy every minute with these pups. I just cover my expenses. Really just a labor of love.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include lemon and white and red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Cindy

Cindy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Cindy partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“We take great care in matching our puppies for new homes. Prefer new home locations in Florida so we can keep in touch. I prefer to not ship or deliver. I prefer first meeting in my home once they are vetted and health certificate issued. There just aren’t enough chins in Florida!”

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $1,900 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“I rarely have a litter BUT when I do..First round of vaccinations Health certificate No papers even though they ARE purebred. Parents are AKC and ACA just never were registered. I have had AKC registered Chins in the past and it really made no difference to me since I never showed. As long as they are healthy is all I have cared about. If ever any issue I will take them back too. Depending on reason/circumstances I may consider a refund.”

Contract & health guarantee

Cindy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Cindy offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Cindy directly.

Ireland, mom
Japanese Chin
About Ireland
Ireland is ACA from NY but her litter cannot be registered. No health issues and purebred chin. I am a home breeder and do not have frequent litters. I just love this breed and my 4 adult chins that I have came from GA Texas and NY plus one we kept from last litter. I live in Fla and could not find any so I want to share with people who also love the breed and having a hard time finding one.
Kobi, dad

About Kobi
His Dad is from the Ukraine and I was told a champion in Russia and Germany. I was never given papers.His Mom was never registered but I was told AKC so I cannot register my litter. They ARE purebred chins with no health issues.

I cannot recommend Cindy enough! Finding her was truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I brought Finley home in June 2024, and he has been an absolute dream from the very beginning. He is the most beautiful, healthy, loving, playful, and well tempered Japanese Chin I could have ever hoped for, and everywhere we go people stop to tell me how gorgeous he is and ask where I got him. You can tell Cindy pours her heart into every puppy she raises because they are not just dogs to her, they are family. What makes her so special is that she doesn’t just send you home with a puppy and disappear. She continues to be there long after you bring your puppy home, answering questions, offering support, celebrating milestones, and genuinely caring about both you and your dog. She has even been incredibly supportive as I learned about breeding, and I still reach out to her because her knowledge, kindness, and love for this breed are unmatched. It is so rare to find someone who is this honest, passionate, and dedicated to the lifelong well being of every puppy she raises. I truly feel like I hit the jackpot finding Cindy, and I will forever be grateful for her and for my amazing Finley. If you are looking for a Japanese Chin, I can say with my whole heart that you will not find a breeder who loves her dogs more or cares more deeply about the families they become a part of. Thank you, Cindy, for giving me one of the greatest blessings of my life.

CindyLynnsChins was the PERFECT place to secure our new puppy, Mika. Cindy has done a remarkable job socializing, training and loving our little Mika who is now 12 weeks old. Cindy has guided us through every step of being a new puppy parent and we couldn't appreciate her efforts more. Thank you Cindy -- and thank you Mika for bringing such joy.
