About
What the breed standard says
- Bred for
- Hunting dog
- Behaviour and temperament
“The Korea Jindo Dog has a very strong instinct for hunting and is bold, brave, alert and careful, not tempted easily and impetuous. But most of all he is extremely faithful to his master. On the whole he is not fond of other animals, especially males. He also has a good sense of direction. A one-man dog, he readily accepts a new master, but never forgets his attachment towards the former master who raised him from puppyhood. He keeps himself clean and eats sparingly”
Quoted from FCI standard n°334. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

What you are taking on
Nobody has written this side yet. It is a judgement rather than data, so it waits for a person — not for a missing source.
Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard. One breeder’s animals can differ from any of it, and an empty column means we hold nothing for that side rather than that there is nothing to say.
Characteristics
FCI standard · Korea Jindo Dog
Coat and colour
As the FCI standard sets it out. Every line below is the standard’s own wording.
Coat
The Korea Jindo Dog has a double coat.
Undercoat is soft, dense, light in colour, but sufficient to support the outercoat.
Outercoat is stiff and stands somewhat off body.
Comparing with the hair of the body, the hair on head, legs and ears is shorter and the hair on the neck, withers, back and rump is longer.
The hair on tail and back of thighs is longer than on the rest of the body
Colour
- Preferred
- Permissible
- Undesirable
- Disqualifying
Preferred, permissible, undesirable and disqualifying are FCI’s own words about the breed. They describe what the standard asks for — not an assessment of any individual dog, and not ours.
Shortened from FCI standard n°334 — each label is the standard’s own wording with the verdict lifted into the tag beside it. Read the full clause at source.
What the breed standard says

What to ask for in a Korea Jindo Dog
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Korea Jindo Dog on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
