The Korean Jindo Dog originated on Jindo Island off the southwestern coast of South Korea and has been declared a national treasure, protected under Korean law since 1962. They are fiercely loyal, highly intelligent, and independent dogs known for their exceptional devotion to a single owner and wariness of strangers. They were originally bred for hunting large game including deer, wild boar, and even tigers in the dense forests of Korea.
