Show Record

JinHo was imported from Korea as a gamble.  I had never interacted with his breeder in person, never visited his dogs in person, and had not done a hands-on in-person evaluation of the prospective pup.  Though I have seen pictures of his ancestors and seen regular updates of the litter, I had only met one ancestor about 4 generations back in his lineage.  The ancestor was a white dog named Bawoo who was imported to Los Angeles as a senior dog.  I remember Bawoo as dignified-friendly towards people.  He also had an intact retrieving ball drive. 

Bawoo in Jan. 2004

The entire importing experience was highly stressful, but with the help of a bilingual Japanese Akita friend Tae Kim who was in CA and his friend Geen Kim who lived in the same city as the breeder, JinHo made it safely to the U.S. 

JinHo's formal registration name is a nod to the enormous help Tae Kim had provided. 

 

JinHo the day he arrived.

I am extremely pleased with how my gamble has paid off. JinHo is an outgoing dog who is socially attracted to people.  He is unfazed with being with other dogs and has been fine with dogs of all sizes.  He walked through my agility equipment without me needing to introduce him to it.  He has high toy drive and good retrieving drive.  His prey drive and house-guarding instincts are what I am more familiar with in my old Jindos.  Housebreaking has been a piece of cake, with him literally throwing himself at the door when he needs to go out. 

JinHo was the sire of the "A" litter and so his pups are currently being grown out before a decision to continue using him in a breeding program will be made. 

In the interim, the plans for JinHo are to title him in lure coursing venues, explore Barn Hunt events, and obtain a Community Canine Good Citizen certificate.  He will resume training for obedience titles in 2017.
