Korea's best-known native breed from Jindo Island, protected as a natural monument. Loyal, clever and famous for finding its way home, but independent and wary, needing socialisation and lots of exercise.
๐ Experienced owners who can walk a lot every day, train consistently and want a deeply loyal companion.
โ First-time owners with frequent visitors, homes with small children or cats, or anyone who can't walk several times a day.
A small, fox-faced Japanese hunting dog with a curled tail. Clean and independent, but stubborn and often touchy with strangers and other dogs, so not an easy first dog.
๐ Experienced owners who respect an independent personality and will train patiently with rewards.
โ People who want a cuddly, obedient dog, or homes where young children will constantly grab and hug it.
