Hi everyone,

 

I have another introduction for you. Please meet Jersey and Niki! They live in Orange County, California, enjoying sunshine and walks. They both were rescued by their human parents.

       For those who don’t know…  it is a wild breed from Jindo Island in Korea, the Korean Jindo dog is internationally protected as a Natural Treasure. It is a national dog of Korea.  It is not known how the dogs first got to Jindo Island but this dog survived many centuries on it’s own. Although the Jindo comes in many colours, only the white and the yellow Jindos are a protected species. Immigrants have been bringing them to North America for more than two decades even though it is illegal to export Jindos from Korea.

           As a matter of fact, there is a Jindo institute there, that was created to actively preserve the breed. The Jindo Institute evaluates puppies at 6 months old and if the puppy is deemed to meet the breed standard and sound , it is micro chipped. Only micro chipped Jindos are allowed to remain on the island unless they are neutered. Chipped Jindos cannot leave the island to ensure preservation of the breed from the best stock.

       It is a breed with a bold and daring character and with wonderful hunting skills. It is best known for being totally loyal to its owner. It also has exceptional homing instincts. There are numerous tales of Jindos that were lost travelling for hundreds of miles to return home.

     Niki and Jersey are the best friends. I would loooove to meet them!

Till Next Time,

Monkey
