Very beautiful dogs! I met my first Jindo a couple of weeks ago. She and her brother (a mix of some kind of spitz) just moved in around the corner from us and were very sweet
I don't agree with their vision of a Jindo, and some of the claims they've made on their website about having the first Jindos officially shown outside of Korea are wrong. Can't blame them about the latter though. There are Koreans doing some revisionist history writing.
I corresponded with her during the initial period after General was imported but before the first litter was born. At that time, the only view of General was a side head view. When additional pictures filtered out of him and of the other dogs and pups, it was clear that "Jindo type" was not there.
It was especially bad to me to see the chocolate-factored dogs and see allowed in the UK standard white dogs that were chocolate-factored (ie. flesh colored lips). I can understand her dealing with the cards dealt her and I can understand her leaning towards a certain (wrong) look because of her Akita background, but to put that into the standard? Bad enough the rest of the UK standard appears to follow neither the FCI standard nor the Jindo Island standard which are available in English.
