ALL ABOUT THE KOREAN JINDO: THE INDEPENDENT HUNTER
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- The Korean Jindo dog, renowned for its unwavering loyalty and strong-willed nature, is a distinct breed originating from the Jindo Island in South Korea. This medium-sized canine is characterized by its harmonious and well-proportioned build, exuding an air of dignity and athleticism. Its double coat, consisting of a dense undercoat and a coarse outer layer, provides excellent insulation against varying climates.
Highly regarded for its intelligence and independence, the Jindo possesses a keen sense of territoriality and is known for its exceptional loyalty to its human family. This breed forms deep bonds with its owners and is often reserved and cautious around strangers. Renowned for its hunting prowess, the Jindo exhibits strong prey drive and an innate ability to track scents, which can be attributed to its historical role as a skilled hunter of game and even large game such as boar.
Due to its assertive disposition, the Jindo requires early socialization, consistent training, and a firm yet gentle handler to thrive as a well-adjusted companion. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are imperative to prevent behavioral issues. With its rich cultural heritage and unwavering devotion, the Korean Jindo dog stands as a testament to the enduring bond between humans and canines.
I live in Canada and have the extreme pleasure of owning a Jindo. This is the first video about Jindos that REALLY knows what they are talking about. They are NOTHING like North American dogs. Training and bonding with my girl "Hiyan" has been the highlight of my life when it comes to dogs. So respectful, gentle to her family, loyal and obedient. She spends 99% of her time off leash now just following me around, happy to be with me leading and keeping her safe. I am going to find a way to get another Jindo again. My girl is 13 but still healthy as a horse and these dogs have good longevity, so another 5 years I am hoping at least.
Wow, that is fantastic. In addition to your girl being wonderful, it sounds like you have really put in the time and work to building a wonderful and respectful relationship with her so that she can be the dog she is. I do not have a Jindo as of now. I am in the beginning stages of doing my research, but the more I learn about them, the more I am realizing that one of these dogs would fit my lifestyle very well. Being someone who is not at all an impulsive decision maker, I don't see a Jindo in my life for at least two or three years. I would like to talk to a variety of Jindo owners, talk with breeders and really know what I'm in for before investing in one.
Thank you for sharing a little bit about you and your girl, and I hope you have many more years with her.
This is an excellent video! Exactly what I felt while I have my Korean Ji do dog.
I can not generalize the entire breed cause I've seen a lot of Jindos that are not quite fit to the characters of my Jindo.
But things I've discovered from my Jindo are :
1. Very smart. I didn't even train her, yet she could just glimpse at me and read my thoughts.
2. Very clean. She grooms herself like cats. She doesn't smell even though I give her wash 2 times annually.
3. Very instinctive. When I had her in a daycare for a trip, she was the only dog who could smell the smoke from the small fire. She barked as hard as she could, which she barely does, so that staff could look for it.
4. Very generous to kids and puppies. She's not kind when grown-ups try to grabble her, or adult dogs are not able to read the body signs. When those things happen, she tries to warn them by staring back with scary eyes, and if it doesn't work, she does air snaps. However, she tolerated a little grabs and pinch from a toddler and gently educated puppies that tried to go up on her back.
5. Very mature. She did have a faze of messing around at home, but only until she was 8 months or so. After around 1 year old, I suddenly felt like I had a senior dog at home. She barely plays or even moves, but then when we go for a run, she could run like a greyhound for 3 hrs.
6. Very loyal. She could come at 3 times bigger dogs than her to protect me. One time, we were in a playground, and a very large German Shepherd and his owner came in. The Shepherd came to me with his hackles raised, and my Jindo came in between me and the Shepard. Suddenly, the Shepherd tried to make a move towards me, and my Jindo, who weighs only 33 pounds, squared her legs in front of the Shepard without hesitation. They got into a fight, and she got a scratch on her ear, but the Shepard got puncture wounds on his neck.
I so freaking love my Jindo. She's just perfect, and I feel like her presence is more like human being than a dog.
진돗개에 대한 다큐멘터리를 만들어주셔서 감사합니다. 내용 또한 정말 훌륭 하네요~ 진돗개를 키우고 있는 한국인으로서 감사의 마음을 전합니다. 진돗개는 정말 훌륭한 개입니다. 집안에서는 세상 얌전하고 있는 것 같지 않게 행동하며 밖에서는 활동적이고 처음보는 사람과 개에게는 함부로 다가가지 않는 훌륭한 매너를 가지고 있답니다. 잘 모르는 사람들은 그걸 사회성이 없다고 무식한 발언을 하지요. 친해지면 시간이 한참 흐르고 아무것도 해주는게 없어도 배신하지 않는 정말 멋진개에요!! 진돗개를 많이 사랑해 주시고 기억해 주세요 !! 감사합니다
This was such an informative video! I love how she spoke to why the breed is amazing but not for everyone! The right person for a jindo will be a relationship that will last a lifetime 🖤
I agree. Very informative video. I went from thinking they were a Japanese version of a German Shepherd to learning that they’re actually a Korean hunting dog along with facts about the breed.
@@karenhackney9920thanks
We had a jindo. In her prime, when we went out in the morning we would find up to six dead animals that she had killed overnight, all lined up neatly in a row on our lawn. That included pretty hard to kill animals like skunks and possums. She was an incredible hunter, but she didn’t distinguish between wildlife and other peoples pets, so if a cat came into our yard it was not a good outcome. She also was like Houdini when it came to escaping. We had to raise our 6-foot chain link 2 feet higher because she climbed it.
I used to have a black one, my dad brought her back from Los Angeles. Best surprise ever. She was my baby. I miss her so much. ❤
As Korean, Jin-do dog is originated from Jin-do island which is located at the farest west-southern of Korean peninsula. Jin-do dog has very wonderful habits , amazing characters and beautiful features and has many good points in the view of owner. We are surely proud of Jin-do dog as the one of the best dogs in the World.
Two jindos are my house. They had 8 puppies over 3 gestation period. All of them have a home. Love them
❤❤❤ Have had my jindo Foxi for almost 15 years. She has been a wonderful companion.
Such a loyal, smart and clean dog, Korean Jindo! I wish I had own him/her one day. Now I'm so happy with my pomeranian. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Magnificent breed, such a noble dog. I would love to own one someday. 🐚
좋은 내용이네요.
진돗개에대해 좀더 깊이 보면...
한국의 토종 견종들은 수천년간 환경에 맞게 자연 선택적으로 개량된 품종들입니다.
그래서 남쪽의 견종(진돗개 등)과 북쪽의 견종(풍산개 등)은 조금 다른 특징이 있죠.
한국의 남쪽은 60%의 산림과 40%의 농지로 구성되어 있었습니다. 마을은 한곳에 밀집되어 있었고, 거의 모든 성인은 낮시간 농업을 위해 마을을 벗어나야하는 상황이었습니다. 이런 상황에서 주변 가까운 산엔 호랑이, 곰, 늑대, 표범, 승냥이 등 맹수들이 가까이 살고 있었습니다. 즉, 마을에 남은 아이들과 노약자들은 그들이 키우는 개들에의해 보호받아야하는 환경이었죠.
이러한 이유로 맹수나 외부인이 마을에 침입했을 때 사람을 두고 도망치는 개체는 도태될수밖에 없었습니다. 또 마을의 어른이 없는 마을에 어린 아이에게 공격적인 개체도 도태될수밖에 없었죠.
진돗개는 이런 환경에서 수천년간
자연 개량된 견종입니다.
진돗개의 가장 큰 특징은,
1. in(가족) & out(타인)의 명확한
구분.(공간의 개념까지)
2. 가족 중 가장 약한 구성원을 우선 보호하려는 기질.(가정에서 어른이 어린 아이를 혼내는 경우, 진돗개가 아이를 보호하기 위해 어른을 물어버리는 경우는 매우 흔한 일입니다.)
따라서 현대 사회에서 진돗개를 키우실 경우 무조건 In(가족)의 범위를 넓혀야 합니다.
진돗개는 가족에겐 천사, 타인에게는 언제든 악마가 될수 있는 견종입니다. 또 두마리의 진돗개가 성체 멧돼지를 상처없이 사냥할수 있는 공격적인 견종이죠.
즉, 사회화가 이루어지지않은 진돗개는 여성이나 어린 아이가 통제할수 없습니다.
진돗개의 사회화 훈련은 간단합니다.
그저 강아지 시절부터 자주 산책을 다니며 다른 사람, 다른 개들과의 접촉을 늘리면 됩니다.
그러나 아무리 사회화가 잘된 진돗개라고해도 기본적으로 진돗개는 외부인에게 냉담합니다. 단지 공격하지 않을 뿐이죠.
진돗개는 스스로 가족이라고 인지하지 않는 사람이 주는 음식을 먹지않으며, 함께 산책도 하지 않습니다.
또 진돗개는 집에서 대소변을 보지 않으며, 집에서 멀리 떨어져야 대소변을 봅니다.
즉, 가족이 집을 비울 경우,
당신은 누군가를 고용해 당신의 진돗개를 돌보게할수 없습니다.
마지막으로 진돗개는 잘 짖지 않습니다. 특히 어린 가족이 있는 경우엔 아예 어떤 소리도 내지 않으려 노력하죠. 진돗개는 어린 아이가 놀라지 않게 소리, 거리 등을 매우 세심하게 행동합니다.
진돗개가 짖으면 반드시 그 이유가 있습니다. 그 이유가 사람에게 어떤 의미를 가지는지는 몰라도...
We have a German Shephard mix. We just recently learned about his Jindo blood. This explained so many things. Thank you. He is 50% GS, but is 100% in his Jindo behavior.
There were many native dogs on the Korean Peninsula, but 80 to 100 years ago, Japanese exterminated them all to obtain dog fur, leaving only the Jindo and Pungsan dogs. The Jindo dog is a loyal dog whose nature is most similar to that of a wolf. Japan is an island country, so there were no native dogs, but the Akita was bred to be similar to the Jindo dog dna, and the Shiba Dogs are also a member of the Jindo dog family and is a cute dog that was bred as a pet in Japan.
Not exactly true. The Akita and Shiba are both breeds that bred independently in Japan but like Jindos were selected for certain traits either thats definitely a more European thing. All of those spitz breeds share an ancestry with the New Guinea Singing Dog.
Theres also 7 breeds from Korea not 2 however all are endangered due to the acts of the Japanese
Pungsan, Jindo as you mentioned but also
Donggyeongi
Jeju
Dosa
Nureongi
Sapsali
I have a Jindo Labrador mix.I was told she was an an accident. Smart,clean,rides shotgun perfectly,has been on an escalator,elevators,Home Depot,Macy's, supermarkets,and more.She is protective of my van and yard.She is the best dog.
8살때 진돗개를 키운적이 있습니다 오직 주인의 생활을 위해 맞춰주는 멍뭉이입니다
I commend this video for giving such well-informed, expert info. I agree with literally every single bit. Very impressed.
I've had 5 jindos so far (mom and dad who were brought from the namesake Jindo island, and their three kids) and while they are not the easiest breed to train, I cannot imagine getting a different breed other than jindos now that I am familiar with them. They are not only clean and smart but also fiercely loyal, protective, and loving to a fault at the same time.. best qualities to have in your pups.
It'd be awesome to have a couple of well-trained jindos as not just a part of the family but also as hunting companions... It'd be my dream really!! I've seen their amazing natural small-game hunting instincts first hand and it'd be great to tame that.
Sweetest and goodest doggos as long as you are ready to love them.
p.s. 4:40 the small deers with huge fangs are asian water deers, Gorani, endemic to the korean peninsula (not just Jindo island)and some parts of china. Amazingly effing unique creatures on their own lol
My jindo dog has all the characteristics listed by her, except mine is suuuuper friendly and acts like a social diva. She loves seeing and being touched by strangers both humans and dogs. If i take her to a bar, she will try to say hello to every table and would join one of them😅
But she gets very wary of those who dont fit into the picture. For example, if a drunk person tries to touch her, she would bark. If she sees kids acting out of their way, she barks etc. So maybe because i tried to take to everywhere since she was puppy, she is comfortable mingling with strangers, but she has instinct to categorize what is ok vs not ok.
Great video! I love when you do this type of video where we see the dogs and a knowledgeable person talks about them.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this presenter. So incredibly eloquent. And what majestic dogs. 🤍
We spent two years in South Korea and adopted a Jindo/Malinois mix while we were there. He has been such a good dog. We definitely can see the Jindo influence in him.
Jindo is very independent dog! I love them!
I have a 8 year old Mundo named Molly I have had other dogs growing up but nothing like my Jindo, We got her when she was 4 months old born in the US but we figured conceived in Korea long story, but we love her so much not as a dog but a part of the family and it is nice hearing very accurate info on the bread the one thing I did not hear mentioned is how sensitive they are to the family's feelings she can be like a therapist sometimes, again great video
Pride of Korea.
한번 주인은 영원한 주인. 그것이 진돗개다.
함부로 다른사람이 주는 음식을 먹지 않는다. 함부로 다른사람을 따라가지 않는다. 이것은 그들의 본능이다.
하지만 이미 누군가에게 길들여진 진돗개를 입양한다면, 힘들수도 있다. 불가능한 것은 아니지만. 진돗개가 당신에게 충성하는 만큼, 당신도 책임감을 가지고 평생을 함께 해라.
오 진도개도 나왔네 감사합니다
visited Jindo island and brought my jindo(black and tan) from the island, there are companies to help with prep and paper work to bring them back to the States.
I have 2, amazing dogs. Will always keep jindos.
I have a black Jindo 😍🐕
Love this breed, so smart and easy to train. When they blow their coat, it's like Jindo confetti. Lol
Korean jindos highly independent breed of dog I like them a lot
I’ve learned that I have a Jin do yesterday after so many years. I love their on/off switch inside the house!
Almost everything you said is correct, except that the Jindo will never be totally obedient to their owners, where “they will put their owners wishes above their own” (around 9:20). At least the one I had for a decade ABSOLUTELY will and did do that, with absolute love, respect and devotion. She was rescued from S. Korea. Also, we gave her direction, love, activity and a pack order from when she was 8 weeks old.
ㅋㅋㅋ
맞습니다.
진돗개는 자기 자신을 가족의 평등한 일부라고 인지하는 견종입니다.
대개의 견종처럼 서열 개념이 아닌 가족 개념의 패러다임을 가지고 있죠.
그래서 진돗개는
복종이 아닌, 즐거움을 추구합니다.
스스로 재미없으면 명령에 따르지 않죠.
Excellent video. Thank you for the great insight and information. I learned more about this breed today, than the 2 1/2 years I was stationed in Korea, lol. Seriously, well done. In the area I was stationed, there were not many dogs at all, other than a few stray mixed breeds, and there weren't' many of them.
This was such a helpful video
Such a beautiful animal. This presenter is so good she should could do documentaries
Dogumentary TV,
Thank you very much for uploading this highly informative video.
I have the following two questions though:
1) Given that this is a guard dog breed but weighs 50lbs at the maximum, how strong and agile are these dogs (comparable pound-for-pound to pitbulls?)?
2) Some double-coated breeds (e.g. Alabais and Kangals) can tolerate heat, others do not. Do Jindos tolerate heat?
Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer my questions.
A rough measurement of strength for a Korean Jindo is they can take on most animals about 3x their body weight. Ie, a 40lb Jindo can take on 120lbs. (*This doesn’t translate into the sport of weight pulling however, and Jindos are able to pull weights much higher than that)
2) Jindos tolerate heat surprisingly well. Its a bit of a “mystery” how a double coated northern breed ended up developing as it did considering the warm, humid climate of Jindo Island, but they tolerate heat fairly well. Mine are here with us in Atlanta, Georgia USA. My Jaegu female is less tolerant because of her longer/darker coat than my shorter coated Hwanggu, but they are not left outside in the heat all day and have access to air conditioning. They tolerate hikes in the heat as long as they have access to fresh water and protection on their feet if the pavement is excessively hot to the touch.
@@kkeokjinjindo ,
Thank you very much for your very detailed reply.
1) Regarding strength, I am not concerned with weight pulling or any other such sports. I am interested in whether this breed can perform one of its most important functions: guarding and protecting its owners.
While the ability to bring down adversaries 3x their weight is extremely impressive, most tough criminals are much heavier than 120 lbs and/or have combat experience. Pitbulls, for example, provided they are trained to guard and protect (something that is not part of their DNA; on the contrary), are only dangerous to big, tough criminals because they are very fast and agile (they jump directly to the throat or attack the genitals of their opponents).
2) Regarding the tolerance of heat of double-coated breeds, this is an important advantage of the Jindo (at least for me)! Also, it is a mystery to me why some double-coated breeds tolerate almost all types of weather (e.g. Alabai, Kangal, Jindo) while others would collapse if they did any activities in hot climates (or so people say on the internet).
@@JohnSmith-qy3nv Gotcha. A Jindo will primarily be a great deterrent (primitive phenotype, deep bark, many will likely not back down even sans-protection/IGP training), and it’s expected they will bite if their owner is physically assaulted. But their medium size and bite style isn’t going to hold down a criminal with one dog alone. They aren’t a “full grip” type of breed which uses their entire mouth to grip and hold on like you might see in a breed like Malinois. They are much more “bite and release and repeat”, but a Jindo should do enough damage to buy you time. (Speaking as someone who got involved in the breed primarily because I was looking for a spitz breed with guarding instincts)
@@kkeokjinjindo ,
Thank you very much for your detailed reply!
All in all, a wonderful breed.
I wish you and your Jindo many, many years of happiness.
One of my favorite dog breeds.... If they were not so incredibly rare here in western Europe, there would definitely be a jindo (or mix) in the future.
I now have a distant cross (with husky, akita and white shepherd) of north Korean pungsan dog (his great-grandfather was one, from Korea Town in Vancouver ended up as a puppy at a native reservation near Vancouver... and there he bred a mix of Chow Chow, yellow labrador and Amstaff among others, of which one son was kept, and ended up wandering endless distances with his father through the Canadian wilderness, sometimes staying away for days or weeks... and the son was taken to the Netherlands by touring travelers).
He will turn 15 in 2.5 weeks, and the deterioration is starting to go fast now... unfortunately.
I also have a chronically ill shepherd podenco cross, and a mid content wolfdog with only German shepherd in the dog share.
(And I know that many need help in Korea, also I know that some rescue organizations also ship to Europe.... but I don't feel like letting a dog fly halfway around the world in the cargo hold of an airplane with all the stress it causes, to give it a better life on the other side of the world).
멋진 진돗개군요
Awesome Korean Jindo!
I learned a lot, thank you for covering this less common breed! They sound similar to my Akita (but smaller and my Akita has no desire to please people as she mentioned LOL).
This is awesome.
Well said
❤ What took Dogumentary TV so long to focus on Jindo Kaes?
Although I love this breed, the Jindo dog is not for the average person. Believe me when I say that they are not fully "Domesticated". They still have that wild wolf / coyote instinct to em which is dormant until the opportunity arises. Never have them off leash, no dog parks. Need to keep an eye on them all the time. Even if u have them in the yard, they find have a way to escape. Although they are known to find their way back home after escaping, it can lead to a lot of trouble (fighting or killing other dogs, biting people, running into the street getting hit by a car etc. Basically they are still WILD. They are awesome dogs if you are a hunter, VERY SMART DOGS, no training needed, they will track and kill their prey without you. Anyways, save yourself the trouble and stick with a doodle. Plus Jindos shed like crazy.
Fits my dog to a T. DNA test said she’s a Jindo, we adopted her from the SPCA. She was in bad shape. She’s very quiet and anxious, very good dog, well behaved, but she doesn’t like to play or interact with active outside my husband and me.
I adopted a dog in Russia who was a Korean jindo (unbeknownst to me) she’s perfect they’re wonder dogs!
Very interesting breed
Seem like a strong headed dog.
Yea.. not a lemming. A jindo will respect a good owner, very coequal. If you want a dog get a jindo; if you want a pet many other breeds out there.
@@ChosonJindosJindos can think.Doodles cannot.Jindos are dogs,much closer to a wolf than a doodle.The person who thinks a Jindo is strong headed should not get a real dog.
@@TiredofMorons Yep! One of the if not the closest breed genetically to a wolf. A wolf won’t follow if it doesn’t want to or have a leader they respect. Very capable of doing this thing called life alone, awesome dogs 🐕
@@ChosonJindos Guess what my last name is??BTW I cook for her .Every morning she gets chicken cooked in water that makes a delicious chicken soup.
@@TiredofMorons Cook? That’s awesome. We’ve done raw, cooked meals and kibble. Never done soups. We’re a pack of 12 now. Time limitations we’re doing mostly kibble these days. Waiting for the cheap turkeys before the holidays!!
I am Korean Jindo dog is a natural monument of Korea and is known as the cleanest dog in Korea have the ability to recognize the owner's disease by smellIf the dog keeps smelling you, go to the hospital and get all the medical tests you can get
South Korean the best dog, loyalty, the best homing instinct in the world, a really sexy brain And so cute Jindo
대한민국 남한의 진돗개는 사랑입니다
My old mentor and friend Mr Kim introduced me to the Jindo in Shaker hts ohio back im 1993. Extremely tough dog. In KoreaThey also used the Jindo for dogfighting
Dog fighting is barbaric and disgusting. Jindo lovers do not like the low intelligence of jerks that would even mention this.
Ugh. I hate that everywhere seems to have a history of humans getting off on dogfighting. Humans are such incredibly disappointing creatures.
I've been trying to figure how to get one but have no clue, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Jindo is very intellgent. If you don,t give them interests, they will cut the collar themselves and run away.
Can you do the 'Carolina Dog?"
Really cool breed. AKA "the American Dingo"
Own Decision .. That was main reason Jindo failed test for LAPD K-9 unit test 2years ago.
진돗개 한번키워보면 다른건 못키우지ㅋㅋ
Do one on Schipperkes!
Can you make a video on Bobtail Boxers?
Please do a Basenji video
Resembles the husky and Shibu Inu
The ancestor of the Shiba Inu is the Jindo Dog.
Wish I watched this video before trying to pet my girlfriend’s Jindo. He bit me the other day. He will take snacks from me no issue but won’t let me touch him.
Thank you for the information! Sounds like it's not an apartment dog at all and as with all dogs, should stay on a leash.
You could easily have a Jindo in an apartment, super chill, if left to their own they may find ways to entertain themselves. super clean other than some hair you would need to collect.
Definitely a dog to keep on a leash or long line especially if you don’t have great recall on your dog. Have a innate sense for chase. Constantly will look to expand their territory but have a great sense of direction and will find their way home. Some are more lucky than others.
As will most dogs early recall training and socializing if a key for a well mannered dog.
@@ChosonJindos Hey thanks man! Appreciate the knowledge.
@@bigrudd9346 no problem, best dogs in the world
I lived with my Jindo (plus a beagle/whippet mix) in an apartment for a year and she did just fine. That said - I would take them on frequent walks/hikes/ runs so they got plenty of exercise. She was always quiet in the apartment.
We have those they are called foxes😂😂😂
Im really wondering if offleash walking would be possible
normaly no. If you are good dog trainer it is possible
Mine Jindo Labrador mix is very prey driven.I allow her to be offleash in parks with no cars or beaches.She listens except when there is a squirrel.

On eBay
🤣 lol
Would this be a good companion for a basenji?
I think so, especially if they grew up together but you should talk with a breed expert before making that move.
Not a good idea. The Jindo dog is a dog with a strong sense of hierarchy.
So soon the AKC will f#@k it up
To my knowledge, there isn’t too much interest among breed enthusiasts in moving Jindos into full recognition with the AKC anyway.
I have 2 rescue Korean Village dogs. While not technically Jindos, the video description matches really well. Amazing dogs, although they are completely unsocialized due to their unfortunate beginnings.
Its very likely good majority of street dogs are mixed with jindos. If socialized early on, they can be super friendly too:)
I was raised alongside a Jindo. Both my father and uncle had a deep appreciation for these dogs. Many Koreans, particularly the older generation, take immense pride in this breed and see it as a privilege to have one. While I understand their sentiment, it wasn't quite for me. Jindos can be rather reserved. They are very aloof and aren't affectionate at all. Personally, I much preferred my beagle.
It depends on the jindo. Mine is suuuuper affectionate and friendly (rated by her pet sitter as most affectionate dog) and you will see lots of jindos on youtube or instagram who are very friendly. It really depends on a bit of inborn personality and early exposure/environment as puppies
Wow, so you mean they don't torture and eat all their dogs ???
Magnificent breed, such a noble dog. I would love to own one someday. 🐚
