Jindos are Nobles, Poongsans are Common Folk

More than ten years ago, I remember reading an analogy about Jindos and Poongsans.  They are like the Korean people but in different ways.  Jindos are like the Korean nobles in that they are selective in whom they associate with.  They really don't like getting dirty.  Poongsans are like the common folk, who are more social and less quarrelsome.  They like rough and tumble play and enjoy the land.   

When we were visiting the parent dogs, the owners both commented that Poongsans love the land and need land space.  ie. Not an apartment dog.

I wonder much about that analogy as I watch PoongSoon in our home and yard.  She likes to hang out outside and chill.

But she also likes to lay flat on her belly on the kitchen tile to the point of crying like a baby when we don't allow it. (ie. like 2 weeks ago when she first arrived)   

 
She definately loves digging in moist or cool soil.  She'll dig like a normal dog on her feet or like a weird dog on her belly.

 

For now,  I wonder if this love of the land is just her attempt to stay cool during our temperate San Diego weather.  San Diego is very different than the mountains of northern Korea afterall.

When she sheds her puppy fur, which is a tad long, it'll be interesting to see if she continues these behaviors.
