You see i'm getting a dog called a Jindo. He is 3 months old. Currently i have 2 Golden retrievers both males aged at 4 and 8 and love them dearly. Now, I researched about the jindo and read somewhere that at a certain age they will start fighting these companion dogs to assert dominance. any way to prevent this from happening? there is no way of separating them because all the dogs stay in the garden.

Umm how did you decided on getting a Jindo ?
they can b a handful espically for a person use to golden retrievers -- thing a dog that will be the TOTAL OPPOSITE of a golden - email Jindo owners I'm sure theres a breed web ring online some where
I own aShiba which arerelated to Jindos in the long run - I don't reccomend Shibas to first time owners, or person who aren't use to asserting dominance over a dog - the Jindo will testyou mentally & probablly your dogs too -- do more homework on dogs u may be getting
Jindos were originally bred for hunting game as small as rodents to as large as deer ( AKA think for them self/ independent & like to kill things) . Almost all Jindos possess strong wills (even the ones that seem deceptively compliant) and have independent minds. They love to roam and are quite the free spirits. They think they know best and can be very protective of their loved ones and territory. Because of these traits, Jindos are not recommended for inexperienced owners. Like most independent breeds, they need (and thrive under) firm but loving handling and consistency. An owner who has earned the respect of his/her Jindo will be rewarded with unsurpassed loyalty and obedience. As with all breeds, the Jindo temperament varies with the quality of breeding and environment. The typical Jindo is very affectionate with its loved ones and reserved with strangers. A typical Jindo will not show affection towards people it has just met. At their most expressive, they are friendly in a gentle way. They are excellent watchdogs and will guard the home and family to the death if necessary. Early socialization to friendly strangers, other dogs, cats, and especially children is strongly recommended because Jindos are instinctively protective and have high prey drives. Because of their prey drives, they are usually not reliable around smaller animals such as hamsters and rabbits. In Korea, there are no leash laws and Jindos are allowed to roam freely. Whether or not because they are not reported, there have been no incidents of Jindos biting people. Their only aggression seems to be directed at other dogs and only as a means of establishing dominance or territories.

Um, if you were worried about the Jindo and your Goldens, perhaps doing the research BEFORE you got the Jindo would have prevented this.
NEVER use the Dog Whisperers techniques on a dog bred to fight. Using the physical techniques will only teach your dog you are a bully and will cause him to lose respect for you. The dog Whisperer is mostly wrong.
Do find a good trainer who is based in science and understanding of dog behavior and start your Jindo in Puppy Kindergarten Immediately. Check out this website for a good trainer: www.ccpdt.org

it is natural to have a top dog in a pack which is exactly what you have created, the most important thing you need to do is to let your dogs know that YOU, not any one of them is alpha dog. you made this decision and you probably would have been best not to add this pup into your pack, but now you have done so, so you will have a few things to do and your going to need to spend some time doing them. your dogs are at great ages for companionship now, this pup is gonna reek havoc in their world so expect alot of scrapping! The breed of dog you are getting is no worse then any dog when coming to alpha dog, all packs must have an alpha. You mention both your dogs are males and referred to the jindo as "he" and if it were a female things would be so much better. the thing you don't mention is rather your dogs are neutered or not and rather the jindo will be neutered or not. you can cut back alot of aggression if you have the new pup neutered prior to sexual maturity, though most people do not care to neuter exotic, or expensive pets. if it is just a pet i would neuter asap! You need to not spend all your attention on the new dog so your dogs become jealous of the new pup, that can cut some aggressive behavoir out too. a good idea is as you are doing your obedience training on the new one is to go ahead and re train the older ones and let them be involved as much as possible. you think the new one will be the problem, though i believe your problems will be with your first two.
good luck and i hope my advice helps

Kudos for researching before you got the dog, and definitely try to hook up with other Jindo owners. They'll be the best source of information.
YOU have to be the dominant force from the get-go. There's no getting around biological imperatives, but if you are the pack leader from the start, you should be able to nip any aggressive behavior in the bud. You just cannot tolerate it. Set the rules, and stick to them.
Since you are getting the dog as a puppy, it should see the two Goldens (and definitely you) as higher up on the chain. It's up to you to make sure that the Jindo continues to know its place as the omega dog (low man on the totem pole).
I'd really really recommend visiting http://www.dogpsychologycenter.com/tips/newpuppy01.php for some great tips on your new puppy, and, if you get the National Geographic channel, try catching "The Dog Whisperer."
Best of luck to you and your growing canine family!

I certainly have an Airedale Terrier, a German Shepherd/Chow mixture, and an Australian livestock dogs/Border Collie mixture. what style of dogs do I wish i'd desire to have...to boot Airedales, probable some form of Setter or Pointer, a significant Schnauzer, a Boxer, a Belgian Sheepdog, a Collie and an Irish, Lakeland, Scottish, Wheaten, Welsh, and twine Fox Terriers the best element my dogs does is peel boiled eggs. The funniest element he does is he sits in a wheelbarrow and helps you to push him around everywhere.
