Jindo Dog Breed Information and Pictures
The Jindo was bred in medieval Korea as a hunter & watchdog. It also was (and sometimes still is) eaten for food, although the Jindos brought with Korean immigrants to the United States are doted on as companions and will not face the same fate. Jindos handle cold well, but they are intolerant of children, small spaces, other dogs, or too much down time.

SEOKGURAM, South Korea: is a hermitage 4 kilometers east of the Bulguksa Temple, overlooking the Sea of Japan. It was completed for the Silla royal court in 774, shortly after the death of the chief minister who commissioned it. Carved stone images of the Buddha had been imported to Korea from India via China. The geology of the Korean Peninsula, which features hard granite, is not conducive to carving stone images, so an artificial grotto made from granite is unique.
