KING OF HILLS: KINTAMANI
Kintamani dog , native to Bali, Indonesia, is a wonderful breed which needs more exposure to the outside world in order to gain its much delayed acceptance. Although, people who have come across it, have found it to be too irresistible to be ignored and have invariably taken it back to their own country. Holland can boast to be having a sizable population of kintamani.
This breed is very popular in Jakarta. The most sought after Kintamani is of white color with thick fur on its neck and hind quarters. The breed is still an evolving one indigenous to the Kintamani region of Bali. The folklore has the breed originating 600 years from the Chinese CHOW-CHOW. The breed generally cohabit ates with the feral Bali street dogs.
