American Pungsan  

Mission Statement

"When the Korean dog fanciers learned that the Pungsan dogs still existed, a number of requests arose to obtain these wonderful dogs.  Thus quite a few so-called 'Pungsan dogs' were imported into South-Korea from unknown sources.  Some of these dogs were also bought into the U.S.A.  

Mr. and Mrs. Jang, who imported carefully selected Pungsan puppies, didn't want to mix their dogs with the other so-called 'Pungsans'.  They started their own breed to distinguish them from the other 'Pungsans' and named them THE AMERICAN PUNGSAN."

Breeding Goals

Origins of the Foundation Dogs

In November 1993, 13 Pungsan puppies were brought into South Korea from North Korea.   They were the first Pungsans outside of North Korea. 

On July 2, 1997, just three carefully selected decendents of these dogs were imported into the U.S.A.

Six more puppies were imported in the next few months.  Among those Hosan (AP# 1), Nampung (AP# 2), and Sara (AP# 4) were exceptional and  selected to be the foundation stock of the American Pungsan.

Hosan AP#1 "He is very intelligent, quiet, playful and patient.  He has strong independence and hunting instincts.  He is also a good pack leader.  He hardly barks at people.  He is reserved around strangers and not at all aggressive.  Strong and lively. Height: 20" Length: 23" Weight: 50 lbs

Nampung AP#2 "She has strong independent instincts, but is sweet and affectionate.  She is quiet and hardly barks at people.  She is reserved around strangers and not at all aggressive." Height: 20"   Length: 22' Weight: 35 lbs

Sara AP#4

American Pungsan foundation dogs are DNA Profiled and American Temperament Testing Certified (TTC).
