Growth Chart

When Does a Jindo Stop Growing?

As a medium-sized non-sporting breed from South Korea, the Jindo reaches full height of 18–22 inches by approximately 12–15 months. Full adult weight of 30–50 lbs follows within a few months as the dog fills out.

Nutrition during the growth phase is critical. Given the breed's predisposition to Hypothyroidism, proper growth-rate management is especially important.

Is My Jindo Overweight?

Is your Jindo at a healthy weight? The ideal range is 30–50 lbs (males 30–50, females 25–44). Check these three signs:

Ribs: Easily felt with light pressure; not visible but not buried under fat
Waistline: A clear narrowing behind the ribs when viewed from above
Abdominal tuck: The belly slopes upward from the ribcage to the hind legs when viewed from the side

If your dog fails any of these checks, consult your vet. One of the healthiest purebred dogs worldwide, benefiting from centuries of natural selection on Jindo Island. Genetic health problems are minimal compared to most breeds..

Feeding Recommendation

Adult Jindos (30–50 lbs) typically need 0.5 to 1.0 cups of high-quality dry food per day, divided into two meals. A formula suited to medium breeds provides appropriate nutrient density. Need 60-plus minutes of vigorous daily exercise. They are natural runners and hunters who need substantial physical and mental stimulation. Secure fencing is essential.—adjust portions based on activity level. Budget $55–85/month for food costs.
