Well, I was just looking at Paislie, and realized that she definitely looks predominantly of the Lanigera subspecies. So, I just thought it would be fun to see what everyone else has. Is your chin a Lanigera, Brevicadata, Costina, or a mix?

Sally and Tami look like Lanigeras to me, but Amy has a slightly "rattier" look about her face, so maybe she's Costina??

I *think* that Griffin is a Costina, Draco and Roo appear to be maybe a mix of the Lanigera and Brevicadata to me (they aren't flat faced but they don't really look like a lanigera either) and Gizmo definitely resembles a Lanigera... But who knows. LOL. They're all cute and that's all that matters. LOL.

Oh, sorry guys, I had dinner before I finished making the poll.

Some of my chins are Brevicauda while others look more like Lanigera. I wonder if they are a mix

Both of my kids look like Lanigera. I think that's because that's what Mr. Chapman brought when he brought chins to the US, and most all pet chins are descended from them.

You know, I was looking closer at Pais, and she could be a Costina chin too... they look so close in the picture, it's hard to tell!

Bailey looks more like a Lanigera, he has a very mouse-like appearance
Basil I would say looks more like Brevicadata, since he has more of a flat face
