This pretty dog is native Indonesion dog. And more specific, the Kintamani comes from Bali. Exactly this breed of dog is popular pet in Indonesia. This is locally Bali’s only official breed and efforts are currently under way to have the dog accepted by the Federation Cynologique Internationale as a recognized breed. It is an evolving breed indigenous to the Kintamani region which evolved from the local Bali street dogs, which are rather a feral random-bred landrace distinctive to Bali.
The measures of the dog starts from 40-50 cm in height for female dogs, and 45–55 cm for the male, about the same as the stature of the Bali street dog. The basicly appereance of the Kintamani dog include erect ears, forwardly curved tail held at the midline, medium to longhaired coat, almond-shaped brown eyes, and black skin pigment.
The Kintamani’s is very tender and kind with the family. There is no aggresion in its temper, no teritorially possessions. While the most dogs love to clumb, jump and run, the Kintamani feel more as hapilly just to climb across the roofs and spend parts of the day installed sitting or sleeping atop a garden wall. They are light-footed and move freely, smoothly and lithely, and will bark when confronted with an unfamiliar sound or sight.
