The Korean Jindo is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 15–23 kg as an adult. Named a national treasure in its native South Korea, the Jindo is known for its unwavering loyalty, sharp intelligence, and strong hunting instincts, historically used for hunting small game.
What this means for your Korean Jindo
Hip dysplasia and hypothyroidism are both worth screening for, though the breed is generally considered hardy and long-lived, having been shaped by a relatively isolated breeding history on Jindo Island.
As a naturally independent, strongly bonded breed, consistent handling by the same primary carer helps keep a Jindo settled throughout its life, including into the senior years.
When is a Korean Jindo considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Korean Jindo are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
