Korean Jindos can be good family dogs when given proper training, socialization, and sufficient daily exercise to manage their natural instincts and independent personality. They are loyal and protective, often forming strong bonds with their family, though they tend to be cautious or aloof with strangers. Early socialization is important due to their high prey drive and potential dominance with other dogs.
Korean Jindos are relatively rare outside Korea because their export is restricted by law, requiring special permits that limit their availability internationally. This makes the breed less common in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
Korean Jindos are generally quiet indoors and not prone to excessive barking. They tend to bark mainly in alert to strangers or unusual situations because of their natural guarding instincts, but they are not frequent barkers by nature.
The price of a Korean Jindo can vary widely; purchasing from a reputable breeder typically costs between approximately $800 to $2,000, while adoption fees range from around $50 to $300. Ongoing monthly care expenses, including food and healthcare, can range from about $120 to $740 depending on the dog's needs and lifestyle.
