What is "nureongi"

The Nureongi (also spelled Noo-rung-yee) or Korean edible dog is a landrace dog native to Korea. Like native Korean dogs such as the Jindo, nureongis are medium-sized spitz, but with greater musculature and distinctive coat patterns. They are generally uniform in appearance, with short yellow hair and melanistic masks although some diverge. Nureongis are most often used as a livestock dog, raised for their meat, and not commonly kept as pets.
