Dog of the Day: Coco the Sapsaree Puppy

A new breed for us: Coco is a Sapsali, or a Sapsari, or a Sapsaree, or something along those lines. It is a Korean dog, declared a national treasure by South Korea, and was traditionally believed to chase away or dispel evil spirits. Coco was 7 months old in these pictures, and can chase away my evil spirits any time she likes.

A lot of the jindos I’ve met have been standoffish. Coco was decidedly not.

I think she was recently shorn.

    i had a purebred Sapsaree for 11 years, and currently have a sapsaree/sheepdog mix.
    Both of my girls are/were self taught medical alert dogs. Everyone should have a sapsaree in their lives. they are the perfect companion.

      They do seem like pretty great dogs. It’s amazing that I see so few of them, especially in an area with a fair number of Koreans about.
