[edit] Fluff Piece

This whole article is pretty horribly biased, saying such wonderful things about the "renowned" Jindo, comparing it to other dogs unfairly without sources or anythings. I think this whole article needs to be re written. Maybe by a vet or something.

[edit] Date of national treasure Jindo Dog listing?

Can someone verify somewhere the year in which the Korea Jindo Dog became a national treasure? An anon user dinked with the year in the article and all I can find on the web so far are duplicates of the wikipedia article. Elf | Talk 21:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Since Korea did not have its own government in 1938 (being under Japanese rule), and since the "no. X national treasure" business is peculiar to the South Korean government, I'm willing to bet that the anon is right. -- Visviva 09:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

The Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea [1] avers that 1962 is correct, and also that the Jindo dog is a natural monument (천연기념물), not a cultural one. I was interested to discover through another source that the Japanese colonial administration did actually have a Chosen Cultural Treasures law of some sort, but I can't find any information about what it covered. -- Visviva 09:39, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Copied from Korean discussion page:

it was apparently originally designated a national treasure in 1938 (under japanese colonial gov't), but with the 1962 national treasure protection law, it was re-designated & protected. korean wikipedia has 1962 as the date of designation. Appleby 22:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Do you have reference for that info that I can cite? Elf | Talk 22:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

i found it in the first three korean results here [2] it seems undisputed, but i guess these have the most legitimate-sounding url's: [3] [4] [5] [6] Appleby 22:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
