The Korean Jindo comes from the Korean island of Jindo. For centuries it has been used for guarding and hunting wild boar, rabbits, badgers, and deer. It is the Korean national dog.
The Korean Jindo is very intelligent, independent, loyal, territorial, protective, and affectionate with its loved ones. It is quite reserved with strangers and does not get along too well with other animals, especially hamsters and rabbits.
I have 2 beautiful Korean Jindo puppies who are very adorable.
The Korean Jindo can be reddish, white, black, black and tan, wolf-gray, or brindle.
In Korea, the Jindo is considered a national treasure. Korean Jindo was included in the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Olympic Games, which were held in Seoul, Korea.
In the United States, the Korean Jindo is recognized by the United Kennel Club, where it is part of the Northern Breeds group.
There are numerous cases of dogs that have been faithful to their owners to the end. The most surprising is the story of Baekgu, a seven-year-old dog who was sold by his owner when he was in financial difficulties.
The new owner lived some 300 km away from his former home and upon arrival at the new home, the dog ran away. Within seven months, Baekgu had returned all bruised and battered to his first family's side.
