White (baekgu/백구) - This color is actually an off-white or ivory shade with tan or light brown around the tips of the ears, the back of the hind legs, and the tip of the tail.The back is strong and straight and the loin is well muscled, taut, lean and narrower than the ribcage. The brisket is well developed and the ribs are well sprung. At its deepest point the chest reaches to, or just above, the elbow. In regards to the Jindo's body appearance, the United Kennel Club currently states, "The squarely built Jindo has a chest that is moderately deep but not too broad. The KNDA also recognizes a third body type called Gakgol which is a gradually emerging combination of the two traditional types, retaining the length of body of the Hudu and the depth of chest of the Tonggol. This results in an appearance that is longer than tall with the KNDA recommending a height at the withers to length ratio of 10:11. Moreover, other physical features tend to have an increased length, such as the ears, muzzle, and head. Hudu or Hotgae: This type is more slender with a somewhat less depth of chest and a slightly longer loin.The depth of chest is approximately equal to one-half the height at the withers. Tonggol or Gyeopgae: This type is more muscular and stocky with the Korean National Dog Association (KNDA) recognizing an equal proportion of height at the withers to length (10:10).Korean Jindo owners have traditionally divided Jindos into two body types: Other features include forward-pointing upright ears and a double coat. The keen and alert appearance of the Jindo gives the impression of intelligence, strength, loyalty, and agility. Jindos are double-coated spitz-type dogs.
