Often not. The strong prey drive means small animals and cats are at risk, and many Jindos can be dominant with other dogs, so careful management is needed.
It is a poor fit. The breed needs long daily activity and a secure space to run, and its wariness of strangers can make busy shared buildings stressful.
It is smart but independent and does not aim to please. Patient, consistent, reward-based training works, but reliable recall is rarely achievable.
