[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo County, Jeollanam-do (County Governor Lee Dong-jin) announced that it will resume the postponed Jindo Dog evaluation and infectious disease quarantine project from the 12th to prevent the local spread of COVID-19.

The evaluation targets unregistered adult dogs over 6 months old with confirmed parent dogs. Two evaluators will visit villages according to the schedule to conduct the evaluations.

Dogs that score 60 points or higher according to the Jindo Dog standard body shape evaluation form will be assigned an electronic number, have their blood collected, and be registered for pedigree management.

In addition, in connection with the Jindo Dog evaluation, during village visits, vaccinations and deworming will be administered to healthy puppies over 42 days old to protect Jindo Dogs from major diseases.

As the weather warms, the county is also conducting quarantine projects by providing quarantine and disinfection supplies to each eup and myeon office to prevent infectious diseases caused by mosquitoes or ticks.

A Jindo Dog Livestock Division official said, “We will focus administrative efforts on establishing a pedigree preservation system through meticulous evaluations and preventing infectious diseases so that the Jindo Dog can continue its reputation as the national dog.”
