The Jindo dog (Korean: 진돗개; RR: Jindo-gae) is an indigenous dog[1][2] native to the island of Jindo in South Korea. It is also known as Jindo-gyeon (진도견; Jindo-gyeon) and formerly known as the Chindo dog.
It is one of South Korea's Natural Treasures. It has a reputation for being loyal and good at tracking things.[3] Due to its protected status within South Korea, only dogs born on Jindo Island can be officially registered as a Jindo by the Government of South Korea after an inspection.[4] The dog was registered as a breed by the United Kennel Club on January 1, 1998[5] and by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 2005.[6][7]
