Pros & cons

Pros & cons for the Kintamani Bali Dog

What you get with the Kintamani Bali Dog

  • Purpose stated in the standard: “Companion dog”
  • The standard describes the breed as: “Watchful, intelligent, alert, gentle, loyal and easy to train”

What you are taking on

  • High grooming needs — the standard’s own description is “The neck and withers are surrounded with long harsh outer-coat.”

Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard. One breeder’s animals can differ from any of it, and an empty column means we hold nothing for that side rather than that there is nothing to say.

Characteristics

FCI standard · Kintamani Bali Dog

Coat and colour

As the FCI standard sets it out. Every line below is the standard’s own wording, tagged preferred and permissible.

Coat

Double-coat

soft under-coat is relatively short, harsh outer- coat is medium length along the sides of body.

The neck and withers are surrounded with long harsh outer-coat.

Full-feathered tail.

(The longer length outer coat around the neck is called “BADONG”, and forms a ruff around the neck.

The longer coat at withers which extend around the back is called “BULU GUMBA”, “BADONG” and “BULU GUMBA” is more visible on the males rather than the females)

FCI distinguishes an ideal from what is permitted.

What the standard penalises

What a judge marks the Kintamani Bali Dog down for, and what puts one out of the ring, in the registry’s own words. This describes the breed standard — it is not a checklist for the animal in front of you, and a pet with a disqualifying fault is an unshowable dog rather than an unhealthy one.

Severe faults

Marked heavily against a specimen in the ring.

  • Curled-tail which drops below the topline

Disqualifying faults

Puts an animal out of the ring altogether.

  • Overshot or undershot.
  • Thin coat on tail.
  • Ears not erect at 12 months and older.
  • Unpigmented eye lids.
  • Any other colour not mentioned in this standard

That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
