The Pungsan or ''Poongsan'' (Chosongul: 풍산개; Hanja: ) is a breed of hunting dog from North Korea. It receives its name from the mountainous northern county of Pungsan, now Kimhyŏnggwŏn, where the dogs were first bred. It is a very rare breed of dog, hardly known outside North Korea. ==Appearance== The Pungsan is a breed found in North Korea. Pungsan dogs have a thick coat, usually white in color. They are known for their characteristic bark, which sounds like a chicken laying an egg. They have a curled tail and pricked ears. The Pungsan's fur is very fine and thick to account for the cold winters in the northern Korean peninsula. The Pungsan is a common breed in North Korea. Though this breed is extremely rare outside of North Korea, there are a few breeders in South Korea and even in the United States. Pungsan dogs are very strong and agile because of their past in mountainous regions. They have traditionally been used for hunting large animals, including Amur tigers. They have a lot of stamina and therefore require extensive exercise. Due to their hunting personality, Pungsan pups will have a tendency to chew on several things so it is recommendable to give the dog things to chew. Pungsan tend to be loyal to their owners and people with whom they are comfortable. They will ignore everyone else, unless they invade what the dogs regard as their own space or territory. They will only bark at other people when it is necessary to do so. However, due to the breed still being closely linked to the wolf, aggression and a high prey drive are typical and to be expected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pungsan dog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
