Shadow The Jindo
In September 2013, we found a small black ball of fluff wondering down a dark country road while living in Korea. We couldn't just leave him there and so our little family became 3. #ShadowTheJindo is a black and tan Korean Jindo, a breed of dog native to South Korea (he probably has some other breed mixed in there too but for the most part what we can tell from seeing Jindos here he is for the most part Jindo).
Jindos were originally bred as hunting dogs, and make excellent apartment pets (as we have found much to our surprise) as they clean themselves like cats and make very little noise. We love our little wolf dog and are loving seeing him adapt to his new home here in South Africa.
If you'd like to know more about him, or to read helpful posts on owning a dog in Korea (and now back here in South Africa) then just click on the images below:
Owning a dog in Korea is so much harder than people realise. Korea is not very pet friendly, and although this is improving, small dogs (or rather teeny, tiny handbag size pooches) are far more accepted and approved of than big dogs.
I own a 'big' dog, although he would be termed medium size in any other country.
Shadow, my 1.5 year old Korean Jindo, is a rescue dog whom we found on the side of the road in September 2013...you can read more about him by clicking here.
But, after lots of trial and error, I have found some great places that allow 'big' dogs that don't cost an arm and a leg and are near the popular areas of each city. It's no fun having to stay miles and miles away from where you want to be, as having a dog shouldn't be a huge hinderance.
This post is about Hertz Guesthouse, an awesome place to stay right in the heart of downtown Gwangju.
