 | | Owner-breeder Meg Purnell-Carpenter, is responsible for the care of the new litter as well as for the continued health and welfare of six adult Jindos, all of which were the first to be introduced to the UK from the Far East. |
 | | Originating from Jindo Island, located off the south coast of Korea, the Jindo is a medium-sized dog with bright eyes, erect ears, and has a curled or sickle-shaped tail. |
 | | In 1962, the Korean government designated the Jindo a National Treasure (no 53), the highest honour given to precious native cultural artifacts, animals or individuals, as well as passing the ‘Jindo Preservation Ordinance.’ In addition, a Jindo Institute, located on Jindo Island, was also established to actively research and preserve the breed. |
