Title: Is it Normal for my chin to have quite a mellow personality?
Post by: Mannybilly1030 on April 04, 2014, 08:12:01 PM

He is calm and not a moody very jumpy chin. He eats, drinks water, plays a bit and chews a bit to. No poop problems, no signs of illness or pain. But i do notice he is a bit stressed with the new enviorment and since it was his first night with his brother too.

Is it a mellow personality he has or is he depressed?

You got an answer from the breeder and answers in the other thread.  He is fine.  All chins are different.  Some are so wiggly you can't hold them for 10 seconds without a good hold on their tail and fur flying.  Some will sit there for 10-20 mins being pet.  And everything in between.  Some bounce around the cage like a pinball and some prefer to lounge.  If he's moving around, eating, drinking, and just less active in comparison to his cagemate after the breeder told you he was not very active then he's fine.
