I got my dog from a shiba rescue organization, but the more I read about jindos, I'm beginning to think maybe that's what she is. She is 19" at the shoulders and about 34 lbs, which makes for a big shiba, especially for a female. She also definitely fits the behavioral description of a jindo (protective, territorial of our home, aggressive towards other dogs, bolts after any type of animal especially cats, very independent but loyal, aloof with others), but I realize there's overlap with the behavioral traits of a shiba. And her bark is much deeper and louder than any shiba bark I've heard; if you just heard her, you'd think she was a different, larger breed of dog. I've attached some pictures of her. I saw a pic of her once before we got her where she was sitting next to a rottie...and I was surprised that she wasn't much smaller than him. What do you all think? When I look at some pics of jindos, I think she has to be that...but then I look at some shiba pics and am convinced that's what she is! And is there any actual way to find out for sure, or are breeds determined by sight alone (as opposed to obtaining from a breeder and having papers)? Thank you!
