What a cutie! I have a Jindo a couple doors down from me. ARF here in Walnut Creek picks up Jindo/Jindo Mixes from Central California to adopt out here in the Bay Area.
Yes, it's sad. All the shelters are full. Luckily San Francisco has a new no-kill shelter but even it, as big as it is, is getting full. The foreclosures here are leaving so many people and animals without homes.
A male Jindo dog out of import parents. Blk/tan x white. Kinda oversized.
He was raised to be a schuzhund prospect by someone who owned and trained Schuzhund rotties. However, this dog lacked prey drive towards inanimate objects. Wasn't interested in rags, balls, etc. (Typical of some Jindos.)
Here is a Jindo that was imported just for a 2007 show. Because he was ball-driven, it was easy for his handler to teach him some tricks. In this picture, he does a flying jump (no feet on barrier).
They are lovely dogs! Great pics, thanx for sharing. )
My brother is 1/2 Korean (half brother), I have been trying to convince him for years to rescue a Jindo... But his life is a bit crazy and so I am not sure eh will ever do it.
One day I would be open to rescuing a Jindo, if the right situation came up. Issue is, rescues will never place with us due to us having intact dogs. Kinda stupid.
Three rescue dogs (all owned now). White female Jindo, yellow male Jindo, and male American Akita. I need to find the picture of them all in a dogteam, pulling a cart.
It wasn't the above dog since he wouldn't do ragwork (foundation for bitework), but there is a different Jindo that is being trained for Schuzhund. A Dogo Argentino owner who also does protection sports had told me of one in his training club.
I'm partial to the Agouti Grey, but they are all very pretty dogs!
I'd be interested in learning on how to work with Jindos. I'd love to help owners out with their Jindos so that they will be able to understand and keep them as loving family pets. The typical issue here I come across is "aggression" and "reactiveness" and there are apparently dog trainers here that don't know how to deal with Jindos. Their traditional positive methods of training didn't work. However, I'm wondering...maybe those cases were just a couple of individuals that were like that...but of course...the entire breed has to suffer for it . One case was one of my dog trainer friend's experiences with a 4 month old PUPPY!
Ann,
you're out in my area aren't ya? Perhaps you could provide me with some hands on experiences with Jindos? I may never own a Jindo myself, but if given the space at home...I'd be more then happy to help out with fostering (and any rehabiliation). I'm hoping on my next move I'll be able to take in a foster or two (most likely Malinois - the Mal rescue is slammed this year!), but all depends on where I move to.
The offer to foster is much appreciated. I'll hook you up with Nichole, who coordinates the foster dogs. She's also very descriptive in explaining behaviors and drives in the dogs, and why certain training methods haven't worked in some of the dogs.
Jindos are great dogs, I've always been open to rescuing one, and I've been in contact with Nichole before. However I just started graduate school and the work load has been overwhelming. Hopefully I get the opportunity in a few years.

and here is the pretty rare "cream" dog with black hairs. (Really a very light red dog)
Here is a rescue Jindo fostered by my rescue group. We figure he's an agouti grey + solid black. We call him Iri, which means wolf.

seconds on the brindle!
