The Jindo is a spitz-type similar to the smaller Shiba Inu and the larger Akita. The breed possess strong wills with independent minds. They love to roam and are quite the free spirits, and are not recommended for inexperienced owners. They need firm but loving handling and consistency. The Jindo is affectionate with its loved ones and reserved with strangers. They are excellent watchdogs and will guard the home and family to the death if necessary. Early socialization especially with children is strongly recommended. They have a high prey drive and may not be not reliable around smaller animals. They will strive to be the "Alpha" dog in their territory. With proper daily exercise the Jindos is pleasant apartment dwellers. They are naturally fastidiousness and groom themselves like cats. Easy to housetrain. They love to roam and should be walked on a leash to avoid conflict with other animals. The Jindo has a double coat and blows its coat twice a year.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner. Please visit NoPuppyMills.com

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site.
