I am a Jindo owner and I am reminded of this comparison quite frequently by people that stop to talk with me while I take my girl out on walks. The ears on the Dingo are a pretty easy way to tell the difference though.
While I can’t remember the source, I remember reading a page that discusses the evolutionary similarities of primitive or aboriginal breeds (Dingo, Jindo, Carolina Dog, Canaan Dog) which causes them to resemble one another; it was a very interesting read. If I can find it I can comment again with the link.
