Kintamani Personality
The Kintamani is a fiercely loyal dog who can be loving and affectionate with their families, but they are aggressively territorial and are not afraid to let out a string of loud barking to alert you to the presence of any perceived intruders. It is important to make sure they are properly socialized and trained at a young age to ensure that they are well behaved and well mannered around other pets and people.
These highly intelligent dogs can learn very quickly and can be competent working companions if given a job to do. Agile and active, these dogs have an uncanny skill for climbing and can usually be found bathing in the sun atop a wide wall or pedestal when they are not looking after their territory or spending time lavishing in their owners attention.
These playful dogs form strong bonds with their human counterparts and enjoy spending as much time as possible working and playing with them. This has understandably made them a popular choice for those looking for a faithful companion to bring home to the family.

History
Kintamani History & Lineage
The Kintamani originated sometime between the 12th and the 16th century on the Indonesian island of Bali. They are believed to be the product of local feral dogs being crossed with Asian breeds, including the Chow Chow.
Evidence exists that around this time, a Chinese trader came to Northern Bali with a Chow Chow which bred with local dogs, more than likely adding to the pool of influences which led to the Kintamani dog.
Although not often seen outside of Indonesia, these dogs are fairly popular in their homeland. They have recently been recognized in Bali as a distinct breed in 2006 and the Kintamani is even the official dog of Bali.



Kintamani Medical Challenges
Some Kintamani have been know to experience issues such as skin infections and some stomach ailments, however, the breed is considered to be a predominantly healthy one with most dogs living full and healthy lives. Annual checkups with your veterinarian will play an important role in helping you to better understand and ensure your dog’s health, as well as helping you to keep on top of, and treat, any issues they may experience. Always be sure to contact your veterinarian if you have any serious concern for the health of your Kintamani. Your pup will be grateful for all the loving care that you provide for them and they will be sure to find plenty of ways to show it that will continue to bring you joy.
