The Sapsali or Sapsaree is a shaggy Korean breed of dog. Traditionally, these dogs were believed to dispel ghosts and evil spirits.
Appearance
Sapsalis are medium sized and slightly longer than tall. Their coat is long and abundant, and comes in solid fawn or grey. Their hair falls over the eyes in the same manner as that of the Old English Sheepdog. Although Sapsalis resemble herding dogs, they appear to have been bred exclusively as house dogs; their 'work' is spiritual rather than physical.
The Sapsali has been identified and recognized by both leading Korean dog societies, the Korean Canine Club (FCI affiliate) and the Korean Kennel Club, but the only Korean dog that has official international recognition is the Jindo.
