Chindo
The Jindo dog (Korean: 진돗개) is an indigenous dog native to the island of Jindo in South Korea. It is also known as Jindo-gyeon (진도견) and formerly known as the Chindo dog.
It is one of South Korea's National Treasures. It has a reputation for being loyal and good at tracking things. 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. The dog was registered as a breed by the United Kennel Club on January 1, 1998 and by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 2005.
The pronunciation (Jindo-gae) also means an official term for warning measures issued in the event of a localized threat situation.
