Smudges: also known as the Buddha's Kiss
These are some examples of "Buddha's Kisses" which usually occur on the forehead, top of the head or cheek. Some can be very obvious while others more subtle. Cheek smudges or small "finger prints" of color on the white areas of the head, are a fairly common occurrence in the Japanese Chin. These markings could be the deciding factor in placing a dog as a pet in some cases. While smudges are not preferred most breeders examine the overall quality of the dog first and foremost.
