Archive for the ‘Korean Jindo Dog’ Category
This pretty dog is one of the hunting dog typies. The origins of the Korean Jindo Dog is from Jindo Island in South Korea. When the Korean immigrants go to the USA, they bring with themselves and their dogs. It is celebrated in its native land for its fierce loyalty and brave nature. The Jindo breed became recognized by the United Kennel Club on January 1, 1998 and by the F?d?ration Cynologique Internationale in 2005.
The body of the Jindos is with medium size, has double-coatet fur and it is from spitz type dog. Much as the Dingo developed in Australia, the Jindo Gae is the natural or feral dog of a particular island of Korea. Distinguishing the Jindo breed from mixes and other breeds is often done by close examination of cranial and facial features and by analyzing the proportion of the head to the body.
In addition, the breed exhibits sexual dimorphism with females having more angular heads than males. The keen and alert appearance of the Jindo gives the impression of intelligence, strength, and agility. The Korean Jindo Dog is well known for its unwavering loyalty and gentle nature. Because of this, there is a misconception that a Jindo will be loyal only to its first owner or the owner they bonded to when young.
