Basic Description: It is believed that the Jindo resulted from crosses between indigenous Korean dogs and dogs brought by the Mongols during
their 13th century invasion of Korea. The Korean King surrendered, but some of his armies withdrew to Jindo Island, off the southern coast of
Korea, where they continued to fight. The soldiers’ dogs ended up isolated on Jindo Island, where they developed a very pure strain. Jindos served
both as hunting and guard dogs in Korea. In 1938, the Korean government designated the Jindo as a National Treasure. Jindos marched in the
opening ceremonies of the 1988 Olympic games in Seoul, Korea.
