Descendants of Nordic Spitzen, these dogs were declared a national treasure by the Korean government in 1938. With cat-like feet, straight legs and elbows close to the body, they are similar to the structure of the Akita. Almost all Jindos possess a strong will, even the ones that seen deceptively compliant. They are free spirits with independent minds. They love to roam. These dogs are not recommended for inexperienced owners. Jindos are good watchdogs but are not good with children. Daily brushing is required to remove the undercoat, otherwise be prepared for rolling tumbleweeds of hair. These dogs weigh 25 to 50 lbs. and stand 16-25" at the shoulders.
