A case of gastric adenocarcinoma signet ring cell type was described in a ten-year-old female Jindo dog having about three months history of vomiting, anorexia and weight loss. On radiology, ultrasonography and computed tomography, thickness of the gastric fundus was irregularly increased. On necropsy, the gastric fundus was markedly thickened and gastric rugae were attenuated. The cardia and distal esophagus were also thickened. On histopathology, the mucosa was obliterated by neoplastic proliferation of round to polyhedral cells. The neoplastic cells had abundant vacuolated cytoplasm containing mucin. The neoplasm was infiltrated into the submucosa and muscle layer. Metastatic focus was not observed.

We describe the case of a Jindo dog that presented with a 2-month history of an abscess-like mass on the skin of the left hip. The patient was initially diagnosed with a suspected insect bite and was treated with a topical dressing. After observing no improvements, surgical debridement was done to remove the abscess. Nine days after surgery, the patient started showing severe anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, and oliguria. Azotemia was detected, and the patient was diagnosed with acute kidney injury. Ultrasonography depicted an abdominal mass (4.6 × 7.5 cm) in the right ureter, and severe hydronephrosis in the right kidney. The patient was euthanatized. Results of the necropsy, histopathologic examination, and immunohistochemistry for tumor cells, confirmed that the patient had developed hydronephrosis and disseminated histiocytic sarcoma which had metastasized to the lungs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of acute renal failure produced by ureter invasion and urinary tract obstruction resulting from the abdominal mass of disseminated histiocytic sarcoma in dogs.

The trunk and limb of the Jindo, Korean native dog was measured in the present study. One hundred and ninety five Jindoes were randomly selected from the 1,985 dogs in the Jindo County in August 1998, which were screened by the judging committee of the County and registered by inserting electronic chips in the withers. They were about a year and half old, and were white and fawn dogs. A total of 18 parts of the trunk and limb were measured using calipers and tapes. The average height at the withers was 50.67 cm in dogs and 47.48 cm in bitches. The average body length was 52.99 cm in dogs and 50.33 cm in bitches. And the average height : body length ratio was 104.70 in dogs and 106.08 in bitches. No differences were observed between the Jindoes of the two coat colors in these measurements. The results of this study would be useful for compiling the official standard for the adult Jindo.

This study presented the results of ophthalmic examinations performed on 545 Korean Jindo dogs. The most prevalent ocular variation within normal limits was hyoid vessel remnant (12.7%) and prominence of lens suture was also noticed (1.7%). The most common ocular diseases were retinal scars (6.8%), focal cataract (4.6%) and persistent pupillary membrane (4.2%). Inherited ocular diseases found in this study were persistent pupillary membrane (4.2%), persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (0.6%), retinal dysplasia (0.6%), entropion (0.4%) and progressive retinal atrophy (0.4%). The prevalence of ocular diseases was higher in Male than in Female and proportionately higher in the older dogs. The most prevalence was shown in white coat color dogs. The fundus color changes according to the age was not related in coat colors and shown same pattern.

This study was conducted to determine the protein requirement level in growing Jindo dog through nitrogen balance experiment. Twelve female dogs aged 18～20 weeks old were allotted one of 3 dietary treatments containing 21, 23 and 25% of crude protein. Average daily gain of dogs fed experimental diets containing 21, 23 and 25% of crude protein were 65.42, 79.58 and 99.17g/d, respectively, and there was a significant difference between 21 and 25% of crude protein treatments(p<0.05). Retained nitrogen were calculated 0.74, 0.96 and 1.31g/kgBW.75/d for dogs fed diets containing 21, 23 and 25% of crude protein, respectively, and were significantly higher(p<0.05) in dogs fed 25% of crude protein diet then those of other dogs. A quadratic regression equation was calculated between nitrogen intake(x) and nitrogen retention(y); y=-2.519x2+12.79x-14.79, and it was found a significantly(p<0.05) higher regression coefficient of 0.782. From the above equation, it was estimated maintenance requirement of crude protein for growing Jindo dog is 11.25g/kg BW.75/d.

In these days, it is serious problem to inappropriately eliminate in the home. There are many reasons why a pet might eliminate in the home. A ten-month-old, female, Jindo dog with a history of inappropriate elimination was presented to the Animal Behavior Clinic at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Gyeongsang National University. This problem was diagnosed by submissive and excitement urination based on the questionnaires and interviews on the dog with the owner. Behavioral modifications including ignorance and counterconditioning were recommended to improve the clinical signs. After two weeks following the initial consultation, submissive and excitement urination of the dog was alleviated, and after four months, it resolved completely, to the owner's satisfaction.

Mitochondrial DNA(mt DNA) of Mammalian is the circular one which the 16.5K base pairs and show the maternal inheritance. Evolutional speed of nucleotide sequence is very fast. So that polymorphic analysis of mt DNA provide the useful informations to investigate the genetic relations of interspecies. Authors trials were focussed to compare with the polymorphic differences of mitochondrial DNA between Jindo and Japanese mongrel dogs. DNA was extracted from bloods of 21 head of Jindo dogs and 20 head of Japanese dogs and isolated using 10 kinds of restriction endonucleases(Apa I, BamH I, Bgl II, EcoR I, EcoR V, Hinc II. Hind III, Pst I, Sty I, Xba I) and then separated by the agarose gel electrophoresis. After sourthern blotting hybridization was completed using the mtDNA of Japanese mongrel dogs as a probe. Autoradiography was used to compare the polymorphism of mtDNA both dogs. The results obtained were as follows; 1. mt DNA of Jindo dog showed polymorphism resulting cleavage with four kinds of restriction endonuclease, Apa I, EcoR V, Hinc II, Sty I. While in the Japanese mongrel dogs observed the polymorphism in the five kinds of restriction endonuclease supplemented with EcoR I. 2. Compared with both dogs the frequency differences of DNA polymorphism were recognized in the specific restriction endonuclease Apa I. Consequently in the restriction endonuclease Apa I both dogs classified with three types as A, B, C however in the Jindo dogs frequency of C type was 71.5 percent but in Japanese mongrel dogs observed 45 percent in the A type. 3. DNA polymorphism obtained from the use of five kinds of restriction endonuclease were classified with seven types. In Jindo dogs frequency was highest in the type 6 as 71.4 percent but in the Japanese mongrel dogs showed 35 percent in the type 5. 4. Genetic distances calculated by NEI method showed 0.0089 in Jindo dogs and was 0.0094 in the Japanese mongrel dogs.

The head of the Jindo, Korean native dog was measured in the present study. One hundred and ninety five Jindoes were randomly selected from the 1,985 dogs in the Jindo County in August 1998, which were screened by the judging committee of the County and registered by inserting electronic chips in the withers. They were about one and a half-year-old, and were white and fawn dogs. The head was divided into three parts; the skull, ear and nose. Each part was divided again, and a total of 14 parts of the head were measured using calipers. Measurements of the skull part and skull index were bigger in dogs than in bitches, but no differences were found between sexes. No differences were found in the measurements of the ear part between sexes or coat colors, except the distance between two ears in which the distance was longer in dogs than in bitches. In the measurements of the nose, the width of rostral part was larger in fawns than in whites and in dogs than in bitches. The rest were larger in dogs than in bitches.

Lack of hygiene and puerperal mastitis are common causes of bacterial diseases in nursing neonates. The aim of this study was to isolate microorganisms from milk samples of healthy female Jindo dogs with suckling puppies and to investigate antimicrobial susceptibility against the isolated bacteria. Milk samples were collected from 120 udders of 12 lactating Jindo dogs that were 2~4 years old without any clinical diseases including mastitis. Bacteria were isolated from 64 milk samples (53.3%), either singly (76.6%) or in combination (23.4%). Staphylococcus (S.) spp. was the most common microorganisms (74.7%) isolated from canine milk, followed by Haemophillus spp. (10.9%), Streptococcus spp. (9.6%), Gardnerella spp. (2.4%) and Moraxella spp. (2.4%). The most frequently isolated organism was S. warneri (31.3%). Antimicrobial susceptibility of these bacteria was tested with 17 antimicrobial agents by Kirbyand Bauer standardized disc diffusion method. Results indicated that bacteria isolated from healthy canine milk were mostly susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cephalothin and ceftiofur, but were resistant to erythromycin, neomycin and tetracycline.
