List of domestic dogs

The Kokoni ( Greek Κοκόνι ) is a dog breed from Greece and belongs to FCI Group 9. He is a companion dog that reports visitors and guards small pets.

Origin and history

In Greece, the Kokoni was already in the ancient times as a house and farm dog kept. The Kokoni has been recognized as a pedigree dog at national level since
2005. The Kokoni is available in two variants, the name "Melitaio Kynideo" stands for the long-haired and the less common type "Alopecis" for the short-haired dog. The long-haired variant was recognized nationally in Greece in 2005 under the official breed name "Kokoni" . However, the FCI does not use the "Kokoni" breed. The English name for this breed is "Small Greek Domestic Dog"

The Kokoni moves quickly and vigorously outdoors.
The character can be described with the following key points: bright, happy, sociable, intelligent, loyal, affectionate, playful, very active and docile. A Kokoni always seeks proximity to its owners, which makes it interesting for keeping in families. Since cocoons are very active, they need to be given enough attention. Long walks are the order of the day, as are mind games. They sound the alarm for intruders and keep the property free of vermin such as mice and rats.
