Living with a Korean Jindo: What to Expect

This is an active dog. The Korean Jindo needs 1-2 hours of exercise daily - brisk walks, fetch or a jog - or the spare energy turns into barking and chewed furniture.

Grooming is easy: a quick brush once a week and the occasional bath. Nails every few weeks, and that's about it.

Heavy shedder. Expect hair on clothes, sofa and car, and keep a lint roller within reach in every room.

Plan on $1,500-$3,000 upfront for the puppy, then roughly $1,000-$1,800 every year for food, vet care, grooming and supplies. Year one usually adds one-off costs on top: crate, leash, training classes, spay/neuter.
