In the next 16 pages, I have put together an introduction to the Korean Jindo dog that is not well known in the English speaking world.

Since I first reported on the breed in the Los Angeles Times in 1994, I have been answering individual questions from people who somehow heard about the breed. I had planned to publish the first English book on the breed and had embarked on the project. With my personal responsibility at home growing, I've postponed the publishing of the book for now, but have put together this Jindo web site with text and photos. 

With increased number of accidental and irresponsible breeding of Jindo dogs in America, there is a growing and dire need to place homeless and unwanted Jindo dogs to suitable homes. If you have had experience of caring for a dog and are interested in tying a primitive dog breed, please let me know. I'll try to line up available Jindo dogs with willing homes.

I hope you find the Jindo page informative and educational. Feel free to send me your impressions and questions. Please understand that I won't be able to reply to all your email but I promise I will read all of them.

Jindo Gae Man-Sei!
