Took the opportunity to take a photos of Achwi (10 years old) with his mother HoSu (13 years old).

Both would be considered Veterans at their ages.

End of 2024 Summary:

The Good:

I visited Jindo island this October to watch the annual Jindo dog show hosted on the island. I also met breeders and visited the Jindo Dog Museum, the Jindo Dog Theme Park, the kennels of the Research Institute, and the Baekgu memorial.

I received Jindo books and catalogs, which will be helpful in building the KJDAA's knowledge.

Two co-owners have earned AKC Certificate of Merit titles on their dogs. That tips the total number of AKC CMs to 5.

BokMi of Yooshin Kwest. "BokMi"

HuiCheol of Yooshin. "Cosmo"

---------------------------------

The Bad:

The year 2024 was the year that I took an intentional break from breeding. I had hoped that this would also mean the other KJDAA breeders could have a focus on their litters in 2024. Unfortunately, there were no litters from our club in 2024. Next year is likely to be stacked with all our litters.

I've learned that a new person outside of our influence has recorded their dogs with the AKC-FSS. Their first litter was born when the dam was 1 year 7 days old and the sire was under a year of age. None of the dogs are recorded as health-tested. Although it is not entirely unexpected that this would eventually happen, it is still disappointing.

---------------------------------

The Ugly:

I don't think I had a truly ugly memory for 2024. There were some heartaches with senior dogs passing, but I think the worst moment was learning of a lie during my trip to Korea that didn't directly affect me.

For the people who have already had their puppies finish an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class, this is a new title that can be added to your dog's official name.

My guess will be the application to grandfather in the title will roll out in January.

The American Kennel Club (AKC®), a not-for-profit organization, the world’s largest purebred dog registry and leading advocate for dogs, is pleased to announce that the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program will become an official AKC title in January 2025. This means that dogs who are registered or enrolle...

The following is a list of equipment that I use with my Jindos. I often get asked by puppy owners for suggestions, and I finally decided to list them here just in case other people may find it...

Some of the veterinary records requirement has gone away, but all pups entering the U.S. still have to be 6 months of age.

In July 2023, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposed new rules to address the public health risk of dog-maintained rabies virus variant (aka, canine rabies) associated with the importation of dogs into the U.S. In addition to issuing multiple calls to action for....
