The Jindo Dog Association of Amercia  (or JDAA) is the oldest Jindo club in the United States.  The JDAA is headquartered in Los Angeles, California,  but it has influences outside of the city of Los Angeles and even outside of the state of California.    The current form of the JDAA was the result of merges between several local Jindo clubs and two Jindo-specific shows.    The JDAA has loose associations with several different Jindo organizations in South Korea, the strongest being with one of the major clubs on Jindo Island itself.
