I'm Erin H., the breeder behind Erin & Friends Japanese Chin located in Johnson City, TN. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! We adore our dogs! They’ve enriched our lives in ways we never imagined, and we are so happy to be able to share the wonderful qualities of the breed with others. Owning a Japanese Chin is a beautiful experience, and it would be our honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.

Erin 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.
Erin 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 6 weeks old.
“Puppies are matched after their first vet visit @ 6 weeks. I will only be taking 2 deposits for this litter prior to the vet visit. There will be 3 lemon males and 1 sable & white male available.”

“The price includes registration (AKC or CKC), up to date vaccines and dewormer, a thorough vet checkup, and a puppy pack. Deposits are only refundable if something happens to the puppy while in my care. Otherwise, deposits are transferable to another puppy or litter.”
Erin 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 Erin 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 Erin directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Erin.

Erin has been great to work with. I especially love her focus on health. She answers questions promptly and completely. We’ve only had our boy for a few days, but couldn’t be happier. He is very affectionate and playful.

I had spent the last four months greiving over the loss of my last little companion and looking for the right dog to take his place in my life. The minute I found Erin and the little guy she called Hank, my heart melted and i knew I'd found the right match. I heard back from Erin shortly after I wrote to her about me and my interest in the little boy. Erin gave me all the info I needed about her pups and the parents. When I asked if I could come and meet with Hank prior to his being ready to leave his Mom, she was open to that and made it easy for me to spend a little time with him. During the next 13 days before I could take my pup home, Erin answered all my questions and kept me updated on my boy's progress. I've named him Percival, and call him Percy. He came to me well socialized and seems to be fearless. Percy is paper trained to the peepee pads i've used and has not had a single accident. He is content to sleep in his playpen throughout the night and when he's been in a crate to travel has let me know when he's needed to stop for a potty break. The transition from Erin and Daniel to my home has been easy and I couldn't be happier with the my forever furbaby.

It was wonderful working with Erin. She took every precaution concerning the new owner and the puppy. She talked over details of their health, issues they can have as a breed, and particularly the personality of the puppy we were interested in. We’ve had our little Sid for 4 days and this little boy is the smartest puppy I’ve ever had. He has not yet gone to the bathroom on the floor, only at night in his crate on a puppy pad, and has so much personality. Our goldendoodle adores him, plays with him, and already is sharing her toys with him. He’s a laid back but playful and extremely intelligent. First week of a puppy is the hardest adjustment and it’s been extremely easy. 5 stars Erin!

From the very first conversation, I knew Erin was someone special. Finding the right puppy is about so much more than timing or logistics—it’s about trust, intuition, and feeling truly understood as a family. Erin exceeded every expectation in all of those ways. She took the time to really listen to us, to understand our home, our child, and what we were hoping for in a companion—and somehow she matched us with the most perfect little soul. Zoey is everything we dreamed of and more. She is gentle, intuitive, joyful, and already so deeply bonded with us. It’s clear she was raised with love, attentiveness, and respect. Erin’s care doesn’t stop at breeding—she prepares these puppies emotionally, thoughtfully, and with their futures in mind. Throughout the entire process, Erin was patient, responsive, reassuring, and kind. She guided us through every step, answered every question (even the anxious ones), and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. When weather delays and logistics became stressful, she put safety and comfort first—both for Zoey and for the people involved—which meant the world to us. This wasn’t just a transaction. It felt like being guided by someone who genuinely cares about where her puppies land and who they become part of. Erin gave us more than a puppy—she gave us a perfect new member of our family. We are endlessly grateful. And as a small but meaningful detail that made me smile: Erin and I bonded over our shared love of Pokémon (especially Eevee), which somehow feels fitting—because Zoey truly is a once-in-a-lifetime evolution for our family. If you are lucky enough to work with Erin, know that you are in the very best hands. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Erin was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. She also kept us updated with videos and pictures of our puppy which we appreciated. Erin was also very flexible with a meeting location and had a very fair price tag on that. Overall, she made the experience very easy.

Erin was easy and clear with communication and very friendly, she provided sufficient information not only about the puppy but also gave me a very good idea about the mom and dad giving an idea of not just a cute baby dog but also what I was in for in the long run. Nax, as I named him from Hickory, is an amazing little Japanese Chin and a very smart little guy. Erin was easy to work with and I have nothing but good to say about the experience. Delivery with Dan was also smooth and easy, Erin was also available after delivery for me to be able to get information and get things done from the post-delivery.
