Do Jindos have a lot of health problems?
No, Jindo dogs don’t have a lot of health problems. The breed is healthy and robust, but like all purebred dogs, they are prone to certain genetic health issues, including:
- Cataracts: Cataracts is a common eye condition that causes cloudiness in the eye and obstructs vision.
- Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE): DLE is a condition that primarily affects the skin of dogs. It is an autoimmune disease where the dog’s immune system attacks its own skin cells.
- Hypothyroidism: Jindos, like many other breeds, can be prone to thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, which can affect metabolism and overall health.
