Jindo Dog books

	Hankookea Gae By Ha Jee Hong ISBN 89-7180-134-4	Another petite soft cover book by Ha Jee Hong.  Continues on with the Sapsaree and Jindo dogs with mention of the Poongsan and other extinct dogs.  2003
	JinDokGae by Woo Mu Jong Korean National Dog Association	A picture-intensive book, perhaps even coffee-table like, with a bit of the captions translated into English.  Many pictures could be found in previous books.  2001.
	Wooree Jindokgae By Yoon Hei Bon & Yim Yin Hak (photographer) ISBN 89-7919-206-1	As usual, Mr. Yim Yin Hak manages to capture the essense of the Jindo breed in his wonderful photos.  This book appears to be very comprehensive in its 353 pages. 2000
	Jin Dok Gae By Yun Shin Keun ISBN 89-7813-011-9	This book was the first Jindo book that my dad obtained for me while he was in Korea. It is an introductory book to Jindos with some general dog care included and has a nice set of pictures. There is an online English and Korean version of the book. 1997
	Jin Dok Gae By Woo Mu Jong Korean National Dog Association	This is a very comprehensive book about Jindos. It covers the history of Jindos, the differences between Jindos and other breeds, the ideal KNDA Jindo, and much more. Even if one doesn't read or speak Korean, this is a very good book to own since it has a huge number of different Jindo photos, especially champions and Jindos of old. 1996
	Hankookea Jindogae By Ym Byung Chul	This book first shares the results of some survey work and a wide spectrum of Jindos rather than a selective presentation.  I think this is the book often regarded as the hunting Jindo book (memory fails me though).   A good number of color and black/white pictures are in the book including some that were used on the Jindo County site.  Pictures of past champions from the Island dog competitions are given. 1994
	Hankookea Toejonggae By Ha Jee Hong & Yim Yin Hak (photographer) ISBN 89-369-0151-6	This petite soft cover book introduces the Sapsaree and Jindo dogs.  I really enjoy some of the pics...from a Jindo jumping off an agility A-frame with his master jogging at his side, a person walking his seven Jindos (only two on a leash), to a Jindo carrying a large basket by mouth (a very popular Jindo trick). 1993
	Jin Dok Gae By Woo Mu Jong Korean National Dog Association	This is the first book written by Mr. Woo Mu Jong, President of the Korean National Dog Association and considered most true to the original knowledge published in a 1960's book by a Kim Chung Ho  (unavailable now).

Jindokgae JunDoWang By Pak Byeon Seon ISBN 8904100674

I really don't know what this book is about.   It was catagorized under religion?   2003

"How can I get a copy of some of these books?"

If a person can communicate in Korean, it's best if they contact the authors or groups directly and ask for a copy.  My father found several of these in a bookstore toted as the largest in South Korea, but one book was damaged and others were unavailable.

I've checked the bookstores in the Koreatown of Los Angeles (across from Kim's Housewares on Olympic Blvd), and they only carried the book by Mr. Yun, Shin Keun.

There was an online bookstore that specialize in importing Korean books, but a person needs a bit of help in filling out the order in Korean.

This online bookstore used to have an office in Los Angeles, and one non-Korean in Chicago, IL was able to order a copy of the Woori Jindokgae book with some difficulty.  I don't see the Los Angeles address listed on their site anymore?

I've heard that the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles might carry copies of some of the more popular Jindo books.  The KCCLA has a website at http://www.kccla.org.
