History
There is no written record of the origin, but many authorities agree the breed has existed for several thousand years on Jindo Island at the south-west end of the Korean peninsula, where it was well preserved thanks to difficult transport in those days. In Korea it is called Jindo-kae or Jindo-kyon.
