About the Jeju dog
The Jeju Dog (Korean: 제주개) is a breed of dog that was brought back from the edge of extinction in 1986, when only three of them were found on the entire island of Jeju in South Korea. Since then, an aggressive campaign of breeding has yielded a current population of close to 300. However, the 'pure bred' Jeju Dog population is only estimated to be at about 69 as of September 2010.
