Jindo puppies of this quality sell for US$ 400
to 1,200 on the island. Visitors can obtain exit
permit document from the Jindo County office
which is absolutely necessary to take the puppy
or dog outside the island or out of the country. |
Based on my research on Jindo in the last several years, I have
concluded that this is a serious dog. It has the stealth of an Asian wolf. It
has the body of a wolf with a dog's temperament. It's a tenacious hunter,
incredibly observant and extremely territorial. Its primitive canine instinct
and predatory tendencies are not found in any other dog I've encountered yet.
This dog does not take anything lightly. When it growls, it means business. It
barks only with a reason. It never gets lost. It's always trying to outsmart
dogs and people around it. It follows its master with absolute submission. When
given opportunities to roam free, it however does not wait for instructions, it
thinks on its own.
