Personality
The Chipins are high energy dogs despite their small size. They are playful, intelligent, social and friendly. They need lots of interaction with their family. They are not the dogs to leave alone for a longer period of time. They want to be with their family most of the time. They need exercise and walking routines daily to use up their high energy levels. If not properly exercised, they will be running around the house and may show some undesirable behavior. They may not be suitable for small children due to their highly excitable nature.
