I am anxious to get another dog. I was looking into the breed called Redbone Coonhound and am unable to find any good breeders. Any help would be appreciated. I am willing to buy from a shelter as well. Thanks.

Here is a very well proportioned Korean Jindo. [img]http://dogbreedinfo.com/images3/Jindo2btb.jpg[/img]

We cannot help the fact that people constantly breed dogs that have no business being created. Take in example, the Cockapoo. What is this? A dog with Poodle and Cocker Spaniel parents is what it is. More commonly known as a mutt or mixed breed. Mixed breeds make wonderful pets, but that gives no one the right to go out and breed millions of mixed puppies and sell them for a profit. Just plain insanity.

Ok, I have to ask, Why do you inbreed? Does it help the dog in any way at all? If it does, can you tell me how it does? Even if inbreeding does cause just minor defects like and extra teat, why is it so important that it be done?

Until recently, no Jindos existed outside of Korea. In Korea's mainland, Jindos interbred with other dogs. But on the island of Jindo, this breed is bred pure. Koreans immigrating to the United States were accompanied by Jindos. The Jindo is prized in America for it's uniqueness and is coated affection. However, in Korea, dogs are still occasionally eaten. This was probably the fate of many of the Jindo's ancestors. This breed is protective of it's family and is aloof. It does retain a strong hunting instinct.
