The Sapsal (also Sapsali/Sapsari or Sapsalgae) (Korean: 삽살이) is a shaggy-haired South Korean breed of dog that is said to ward off evil spirits. In the Korean language, the word Sapsal is followed by either gae (개, meaning "dog") or the nominative particle i (이), and may occasionally be romanized as Sapsaree. The breed was designated as one of the Natural monuments of South Korea in 1992 to receive protected status and funding for its preservation as a part of Korea's cultural heritage.[1] The breed is officially recognized by the Korean Kennel Federation.[2]
