Number 173, the Korean Jindo Dog.  There are no written sources regarding the origin of the Korean Jindo Dog, but many authorities agree that the breed existed for several thousand years on the island of Jindo. The most accepted theory that the breed developed in Korea and that it has been preserved on the Jindo Peninsula due to the transportation difficulties that existed throughout history.

Hey y’all I’m really sorry to do this but I need some serious help here.
My dad and I need help funding our dog’s medical care so if you have ANY money to spare could you please consider donating to our gofundme?

야견박살령 / Wild Dog Massacre Order
Dogs were slaughtered by the Japanese government in occupied Joseon, officially to counter rabies from unregistered dogs, but actually to obtain fur and leather for war supplies for the Japanese army.
Donggyeongi dogs were killed for leather and because the Japanese believed they resembled Komainu [temple-guarding dog statues]. Even after Liberation in 1945, the dogs' short tails were seen as bad luck, and the breed fell out of favour.
Sapsaree dogs, whose name means “the dogs that ward off evil spirits or misfortune” are shaggy-haired dogs that were killed in large numbers by the Japanese military, which used their fur to make winter coats. By the mid-1980s, only eight remained.
Jindo dogs were comparatively spared because of their resemblance to the Japanese Kishu dog.
During the occupation period, most native Korean dog breeds were pushed to extinction.
Until 1945, over 1.5 million dogs were slaughtered.

thinking about dog breeds marketed as being a piece of history, I keep getting caught up in dog breeds for whom the real, verifiable, documented history is legitimately a story of resistance and survival.
I had half a post the other day about the well documented fact that indigenous breeds of livestock tend to not survive much past colonial occupation, right? This is especially true if the animals are an important part of indigenous culture, specifically because slaughtering all the animals or forcing indigenous people to cross them to 'improved' colonial strains is an almost ubiquitous piece of the colonialist occupier handbook. Often, after a long period of time, a member of the occupying colonizing culture will come in, scrape up whatever minimal pieces are left, outcross to a bunch of other strains, and start using the unstoppable, tragic story of loss to market the animals they now consider "theirs" to their fellows, generally without input from the living descendants of the strain's original creators. Sometimes, as with the American Indian Dog people, no obvious single breed or landrace actually even existed and they merge a whole bunch of cultures' animals together into a homogeneous mash-up!
Once the story is set, these storytellers will start breeding their animals according to their own fashions and values, because the story is only important insofar as it provides an exotic origin; it's not important in terms of creating cultural connection to the people who are mentioned in those origins. Often, when genetic tests are done and compared to pre-contact animals, it turns out that there's almost no trace of the originating strain left in any case. Often there are just no animals left after the one-two punch of decimation and drowning in modern genomes, and reconstruction can do as it will.
This is the story of the Appaloosa horse, the Araucana chicken, the Samoyed, the Alaskan Malamute, the Carolina Dog, basically every generic American Indian Dog project I am aware of, the Chihuahua, and a number of others. I am not familiar enough with with the history of Peruvian Orchid or Xolo to say there offhand, but I wouldn't be surprised.
(Sometimes a similar phenomenon occurs without the directed slaughter and forcible removal of indigenous control over their native animals, as with Saluki, Arabian horses, Basenji, and Afghan Hounds. This is more likely if the indigenous animals are not especially valued by the indigenous culture, as with Basenji, or if local colonization is not especially preoccupied with eradicating and assimilating local culture, as with British occupation of the Middle East.)
In recent decades, I've noted Saluki, Basenji, and Arabian breeders beginning to do more reaching out to cultures of origin and incorporating at least their modern dogs into the pedigree gene pools, as well as sometimes incorporating the actual opinions of those cultures on dog selection and breeding. This is awesome. More of that, please.
But there are also indigenous breeds and landraces out there that have survived colonization within the hands of their originating people!
Take the Sapsali of South Korea. During the Japanese colonial period, these dogs were slaughtered in huge numbers to make coats for Japanese soldiers and as a way of subjugating Korean culture. But very few survived, and they are in the process of being carefully managed by South Korean breeders to bring them back as a larger population. (The Jindo was the only South Korean dog breed to escape deliberate Japanese attempts at eradication, because it resembles Japan's own indigenous dog breeds and this was felt to be a plus. This doesn't mean that they weren't also slaughtered in huge numbers to be turned into coats; it just means that Japanese colonial efforts weren't actively trying to exterminate them.)
Greenland Dogs and Canadian Inuit Dogs hold a similar story of survival despite pressure to give the dogs up (including dog seizures and killings by the RCMP in the case of the Canadian dogs).
There are also reconstruction projects being undertaken by colonized peoples who are cheerfully agnostic about retaining unbroken genetic connection to their ancestral animals.
The Nez Perce horse, for example, is a Nez Perce-owned and managed effort to recreate their original horses--at the time renowned as long distance, fast endurance animals--using Akhal-Teke crosses to restore the original phenotype, away from the more common Quarter-Horse-like stock horses that characterize many of the animals currently registered as Appaloosas.
There are also some murmurings about potentially attempting to recreate the extinct Salish Woolly Dog with or without genomic assistance from preserved hides. That would be wild and incredibly cool, reconstruction or not.

I really appreciated this podcast episode because so much of what I hear about meat trade survivors seems sensationalised and questionable, but Maja Kolankowska has real experience with them.
It also cleared up something that's confused me about supposed meat trade dogs – non-local purebreds being labelled as such. Maja said that the group that she worked with included Boston Terriers, Chihuahuas, Malamutes and Huskies but that they likely came from puppy farms in the same areas, and collated together under one rescue operation. The meat trade dogs were more likely the Japanese Tosas, Korean Jindos (although I wonder if they are mislabelled Nureongi) and village dogs. Maja did not differentiate between the dogs in terms of behaviour though – it seems the conditions of the meat farms and puppy farms are essentially the same.
They don't go into details about the trade in this podcast, they just talk about the dogs after rescue and how they differ from other dogs. I thought it was very interesting.

Hello, my dear friends!
I know I have disappeared a little bit and haven't been very active when it comes to Tumblr recently. I haven't even done much tarot in the past 2-3 weeks.
The reason is simply - I have become a mommy of two!
Tumblr media
Okay... No kids. If you have been around here for a longer time, you probably know I don't like children. I just don't. I don't have a motherly instinct when it comes to human cubs.
I do have caring instincts towards dogs (and animals in general).
These two cuties are Easy (girl more on the left) and Dacheong (boy, called Dachi for short and more on the right, closer to camera).
Easy and Dachi are mixed breed. They have a blood of South Korean dog breed Jindo in their veins. Feel free to check the info about the breed as Easy and Dachi inherited many (not all) of the typical characteristics. Easy and Dachi truly came from South Korea. They were kept in dog meat farm there, tortured and planned to be killed and eaten eventually. While I like Korean music, this is just barbaric and the fact that dog meat farms were only made illegal recently is a disgrace, same as the way Koreans actually treat animals. It's cultural thing for them. It's a torture and inhuman behaviour for me. I'm not here to judge, though. Easy and Dachi were saved from the dog meat farm by local South Korean volunteers. They logically can't take care of all dogs saved like this and so it's very common for non-profit organizations from other countries to transport the dogs and give them for adoption elsewhere. And so Easy and Dachi flew over here to Czech where I found their profile online and fell in love with them.
At that time I still had my German Spitz girl Spock and I couldn't possibly adopt two dogs. Easy and Dachi were adopted in the meantime, seperately.
By the time my girl passed away (she was nearly 13 years old and had tumour on her liver for the past 3 years), Easy and Dachi were back from adoption, the people simply returned them.
I needed a little time to recover from losing Spock but on the other hand, having this apartment for myself only and not hearing clicking of dog nails on the floor was a tornment for me. I missed Spock so much it was killing me and so I contacted the non-profit where Easy and Dachi were staying again. They were together there and so I prioritized the option of adopting them both togethe, despite being worried how much work it will be.
You see, with the kind of history these two had and the breed they are mixed with... They are not easy dogs to handle. Jindo breed is untrainable. They will never be able to obey orders 100% so they can never run freely, only on a leash. Easy is often scared of loud noises or unusual things, she dislikes other dogs (apart from Dachi) and so she can't be allowed to come close to them as she could potentially attack. Dachi has strong hunter instinct and can't be trusted with any other animals but dogs.
And that's it for their negatives. Yes. That's all. Now to the positives. They are both utterly sweet and cuddly like no dog I have known. They come all the time to cuddle and smooch, Easy likes to lick my face and hands, Dachi keeps putting his head into my hands and would love to be rubbed and cuddled 24/7. They don't really bark, very rarely. They eat whatever is given to them so I feed them with prime dog granules which is really easy method compared to cooking meals for my Spock (she was spoiled, yes). They don't destroy anything at home, I can leave and go about my business which Easy and Dachi calmly wait at home. Dachi have been to the vet already and he's a complete angel about it, makes no scenes and withstands any examination calmly.
Yes, the walks are a bit more challenging with two dogs on leashes. But we are successfully managing. They are not as nervous as advertised.
It was said they are cautious around strangers... well... they love my sister and they also love one of my friends who came around to see them, no problems at all.
It was said Easy dislikes being touched on her belly... well... she drops on her back in front of me and my sister and wants to be rubbed on her belly.
It was said Easy will never ever learn any command. I have already taught her to sit on command.
Both Easy and Dachi sleep with me in bed. They are total sweethearts. Honestly, I couldn't figure out why they were returned from their adoption before, so far. They look up to me as if I was their goddess (very different from Spock who was pretty sure she was the goddess worshiped by all of us).
Maybe they were nervous from being seperated in the previous adoptions? I don't know. For me, they are my babies.
People stop us on the street to say how beautiful they are. And they are beautiful. But they also can't be treated as plushies and keep warning people not to touch them unless the dog comes to them on their own. And kids are completely out of question with Easy and Dachi and I keep them at distance from them.

So yeah... these two look problematic and like killers, right? 😂
Anyway! This is the reason why you haven't seen me much here recently. I have adopted two doggies and they were keeping me pretty occupied.
To make things even worse for me, my allergy season is at it's peak now. I'm allergic to grass pollen and you can imagine it's everywhere. The weather is only making things worse for me as it's dry and windy. At this point my medicine for allergy is not working at all and the symptoms feel as if I had a flu. I feel pretty sick. I had to sleep on positioning armchair for two nights in a row as I couldn't possibly lie down in bed, I was suffocating there.
So yeah! Me and my little family are already developing a certain routine now and weather forecast promises some rain next week (rain will wash the pollen down to ground). I should be able to resume my tarot activities. 😊
Thank you so much for being patient with me. 💖
Be blessed!
Kleo 🦄

The Wilson family!! I’m so excited for this one. Theses people just have dog energy, idk why but it works. Paeden is a boxer ✨🥊. Marco is either a Dalmatian or a Korean Jindo (it depends on whether or not I make Scary a dalmatian) and Lincoln Lee Wilson is a real toss up. I really want him to be a pitbull because pit bulls have those sweet faces but a Great Dane is more on brand.
