인사말

대한민국 법률에 의거 천연기념물 제53호로 지정된 진돗개는 국내에서는 이미 총명함과 충직함, 용맹함으로 그 우수성이 입증 되었으며 전세계 반려견 애호가들의 관심이 증가하고 있습니다. 그 대표적인 사례로 지난 2005년 영국의 케넬클럽 (Kennel Club of UK) 에서 197번째로, 같은 해 아르헨티나에서 개최된 세계애견연맹총회 (FCI) 에서 제 334호 공인 견종으로 인정을 받았습니다.

진돗개 고유의 특성을 보호, 육성하고 발전시키며 국내에서 바른 애견문화를 선도하기 위한 목적으로 국내 최초로 설립된 한국진도견협회는 그 역사가 50년에 이르렀습니다. 앞으로도 진돗개 애호가 여러분들의 기대와 요구에 부응하며 애호가들의 반려견으로서 사랑받기 위한 활동과 노력을 아끼지 않을 것입니다.

저희 한국진도견협회를 방문한 여러분들의 관심과 사랑에 다시한번 감사드리며 여러분들의 원하는 목적에 만족하는 콘텐츠 제공에 더욱 노력하겠습니다.

Indigenous to Korea, the Jindo breed was designated in 1962 as Natural Monument No 53 under Korean law, cementing its symbolic and protected status in the country. It is one of Korea’s most famous breeds and a key part of Korean culture, known for its exceptional intelligence, loyalty and bravery. As Korean culture expands globally, so too has the global interest in Jindo breed. In 2005, Jindo dog was recognized as the 197^th official breed by the Kennel Club of the UK and as the 334^th official breed by the world canine organization, Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in the same year.

The Korean Jindo Dog Association was the first organization of its kind in Korea and indeed the world. Our sole mission is to protect, preserve and develop the unique characteristics of Jindo dogs, educate people about healthy animal companionship culture with the Jindo breed and serve in a leadership role in promoting the Jindo breed worldwide. We have dedicated over a half-century to this mission and will continue to dedicate all of our resources to ensuring that more and more animal enthusiasts will get to know and love this exceptional breed.

We would like to extend our deepest appreciation for your interest and love by visiting the Korean Jindo Dog Association. We will make every effort to provide content and information that fulfills your needs in learning about and hopefully taking care of Jindo breed.
