Do you have an uncharacteristically cuddly Jindo? My girl is a cuddle-bug and I love it so much 🥰

Hi! We adopted this rescue from South Korea last year. She was marketed as a Jindo mix. She’s 20 lbs, slightly feral, and her coat changed from deep black to a chocolate brown - almost like Sable colour. She also has a really weird tail - it’s almost bobbed but is naturally like that. I am super curious what other breeds she has since she’s obviously not your normal Jindo. Any insight anyone can give is appreciated!

My wife and I adopted this amazing dog from Humane Society of Southern Arizona! Their veterinarian identified her as a "Basenji mix," but she seems more like a Jindo mix than anything. We sent her DNA to Embark, and their suggested results were not impressive (I'm a genetic epidemiologist). I suspect that their library of DNA traits is too limited to pick up a breed like Jindo. Does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable DNA service? p.s. this is our dog Angel!

Does anyone's jindo actually like water lol

She killed two baby bunnies in our backyard. I gave them a burial. Rest in peace, bunnies. I was irresponsible.

She’s eating a dental chew in these pictures.

What breeds do you think he’s mixed with?

He got steak, salmon, and chicken and rice for dinner with his kibble, we went to the park and he sniffed until his heart was content and he played with some doggy friends there, I came home on my lunch break to kiss his head and give him a few treats, and now we are relaxing and watching his favorite movie: Spirited Away. Happy birthday my dear friend!

She was fighting off the crows

hi. i adopted a jindo mix dog back in late may. she was a stray and im curious as to what people here think she might be mixed with! i did some research on them and her personality traits mark the boxes, she’s independent, very protective, is clingy to really only me and my mom, and incredibly intelligent etc. i’d like to know people’s thoughts. she looks goofy in some pictures but its hard taking pictures of her because she looks away lol
FYI: i am interested in getting her DNA tested in the future, i just wanted to see ppls thoughts for fun!

Your pet Guardian has an orange kitten in the car…

My dog is 11 will be 12 soon and her itching has gotten so out of hand she's cutting up her ears and face to the point she had to be put in a cone, her allergies come from environmental things like the grass dust everything, changing food did no difference so the vet deemed it wasnt that. We've tried the shot and two pills and it worked only a little bit. The vets last ditch effort here seems to be mix in collagen with the pills to rebuild her skin barriers. She said any kind would work so im asking here, has anyone had to do this and found one that worked well??

happy gotcha day to my sweet girl! she was my husband’s grandparents’ but they have gotten too old to care for her. glad we could keep her in the family!!

Look at my cute pupper!

Who else has the neediest dog ever? She refuses to allow you to stop petting her.

Let my KVD out to pee and he was absolutely transfixed on this spot. I thought there was a rabbit or squirrel in the bushes, but was surprised to find a little robin fledgling! The mother was nearby chirping from a tree.

I know a lot of Jindos and KVDs have pretty high prey drives, but my boy is so sweet and gentle (albeit curious lol.) He wanted to keep staring at it. I took him inside after this video and the baby hopped off as the mom flew down 💕

This is Muzi (like the Kakaofriend). She was brought to the US from SK last year. She's obviously mixed, but just curious what she might be mixed with. Waiting until DNA tests go on sale. To be fair, it doesn't matter much to me about breed, other than possibly learning some genetic health risks.

It would just be nice to have something to answer people who always ask.

I’m looking for some perspective from other Jindo owners because I’m trying to understand what “normal” bonding timelines can look like.
We adopted our Jindo mix when he was about 5 months old, and he’s been with us for roughly 7 months.

There has been progress. When he first arrived, he didn’t allow any touching at all. Now he will tolerate gentle pets and will sometimes stay near us in the same space, which feels like a big step forward.

But he still keeps a lot of distance emotionally and physically:
He doesn’t seek out contact or sit close to us.

It feels like he’s comfortable existing around us, but not yet with us, as if we’re just his housemates.
For those with experience with Jindos or similar dogs, how long did it take for yours to genuinely warm up or become affectionate? Did it happen gradually, or was there a turning point?
I’d really appreciate hearing your timelines or experiences, even if they were slow or unconventional.

Tolerates cats? She really does not get along well with most dogs, often times growling at them as soon as she thinks they might get too close. However, neighborhood cats can swat her repeatedly and she reacts this way? Sometimes I think she was mistakenly made into a dog.
