About Jindo Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Jindo, originating on Jindo Island in South Korea, is a medium sized spitz type hunting companion recognized in the AKC Foundation Stock Service and celebrated as a Korean national treasure. Historically used to hunt deer, boar, and small game in packs, Jindos are famously loyal, intelligent, independent, and reserved with strangers while devoted to one family. Males stand 19.5-21 inches and 35-50 pounds, females 16.5-19 inches and 30-45 pounds. The double coat, in white, fawn, red, black, black and tan, brindle, or gray, sheds heavily twice yearly and needs weekly brushing. They require substantial daily exercise, secure fencing, and early socialization, thriving with experienced owners rather than novice households.
