Detailed history
The Kintamani is a dog native to the Indonesian island of Bali. It is a popular pet for the Balinese and locally the only official breed in Bali, and efforts are currently underway to have the dog accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as a recognized breed. It is an evolutionary breed indigenous to the Kintamani region that evolved from Bali's local street dogs, which are rather a random wild breed distinctive to Bali.

Genetic studies have shown that, despite evidence to the contrary, the Kintamani dog originated in Bali. Thirty-one highly polymorphic tandem repeat markers from Kintamani dogs, Bali street dogs, Australian dingoes and nine recognized American Kennel Club (AKC) breeds of Northeast Asian or European origin were compared. The Kintamani dog was identical to the Bali street dog in all but three respects. The Bali Street Dog and the Kintamani Dog were more closely aligned with the Australian Dingo, more distantly related to recognized AKC breeds of Chinese origin, and more distantly related to AKC breeds of western Eurasia. Consequently, the Kintamani dog evolved from Balinese wild dogs with little loss of genetic diversity.

These findings come despite observable facts about the Kintamani dog that make them more similar to breeds elsewhere and distinguish them from the average village dog, facts that had given credence to a popular local belief that the breed originated 600 years ago from a Chinese Chow Chow imported from abroad.

The Kintamani looks like a cross between Samoyed and Malamute. They have long hair, a broad face, a flat forehead and flat cheeks like Chinese Chow Chow dogs and are able to live as a pet. While many live much the same kind of life as the average village dog, they dig holes to nest their young and some live in small caves among the rocks around Kintamani. They are regarded locally as beautiful dogs and are often sought after as good pets. The Kintamani dog is gentle around people, but retains enough authoritative behavior to make it a remarkable (but not vicious) watchdog.

The most desired and accepted coat color is white - preferably with apricot-tipped ears. Breeders often confine the dogs to dark, cold caves near the Kintamani volcano, insisting that this is an essential stage in the development of the thick white coat. However, other coat colors such as black, beige and brindle exist.

The withers height of the female Kintamani is 40-50 cm, 45-55 cm for the male, about the same size as the Bali Street Dog. Desired physical traits of the Kintamani dog include erect ears, a forward curved tail held at the midline, a medium to long coat, brown almond-shaped eyes and black skin pigment.

Bali Street Dogs come in many colors and coat patterns, and are almost always short-haired and straight-tailed. Both continue to dredge in burrows dug in the earth, a wild dog trait.

A fiercely independent breed, the Kintamanis can be aggressively territorial yet tender and affectionate with its own family. While most dogs are reluctant to climb and climb high, Kintamanis will climb onto rooftops and spend part of the day sitting or sleeping atop a garden wall. They are light-footed and move freely, smoothly and loosely, and bark when confronted with unusual sound or sight.

Genetic studies of the breed have shown that it probably evolved from local Balinese wild dogs, and is distantly related to other Asian breeds.

It's also possible that the Kintamani dog came with the Javanese invaders of the Majapahit kingdom in 1343, or with Javanese refugees from the civil war in the 15th century. But of all the hypotheses concerning the origins of the Kintamani dog, only one is truly plausible : between the 12th and 16th centuries, a Chinese trader named Lee landed in Singaraja in northern Bali, bringing with him a Chow Chow dog that grew up with the local Balinese wild dogs. Lee later settled in the Kintamani region and raised his family there. Proof that the Lee family lived in Kintamani exists in the form of a Chinese temple in which devotees of the Confucian faith continue to worship.

To gain international accreditation for the breed, the Bangli Regency Authority facilitates the Kintamani Dog Show and Competition every year to promote the Kintamani dog. The authority also guides Kintamani dog breeders, establishes rules for Kintamani dog purification areas and has carried out a pilot demonstration project in selected villages.
