Korean Jindo Dog versus Pekingese: Overview
A very important difference between the Korean Jindo Dog and the Pekingese is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Korean Jindo Dog is a medium-sized dog while the Pekingese is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Korean Jindo Dog belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.
On the other hand, the Pekingese belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
