Does anyone have a Kokoni?

[GinBunny]

I've recently discovered that my gorgeous rescue dog is a Kokoni, an ancient Greek breed. Not common in the UK by any stretch but quite well known in Eastern Europe apparently.

I'd love to know if anyone here has one so we can exchange tails tales about this lovely and little known breed.

I just found out on Friday that my lovely rescue, Crumby, is a Kokoni. They seem to come in several colours (cream, light brown, tricolor and like Crumby). Totally wonderful character. Friendly, lovely, playful but not OTT, agile, and SO intelligent. She learns so quickly -I am crap at training her but she still learns-.

Hello! I do realise this is an old thread but how is everyone doing with your lovely kokonis?

We adopted this little one just over a month ago from Romania and think he might be a kokoni!

@littlecontis, he is gorgeous! has a definite kokoni look about him, maybe crossed with a lab? So cute! My kokoni, Dougal, is about to turn 14 (we think, he's a rescue so his birthday isn't certain) but still going very strong. How old is your little Romanian cutie?

We're pretty sure our boy is a Kokoni. We got him last October, from a rescue charity. He was born in Crete. Found dumped by a bin with a sibling at 4 to 6 weeks old. He's 8 months now and just the sweetest boy. We all love him so much. There's a Facebook page called Kokoni Xs in the UK. Most are crossbreeds.

I’m sure this is a long shot considering how old this post is, but I think our dogs are related! I rescued a Kokoni that looks very similar to your pup from the Oceanside Humane Society back in 2019. They estimated that she was born in 2015. I’ve never heard of this breed, and have been searching the internet trying to figure out what she is.

I haven't got one, but I've known one and he was really special. He was amazing with kids, really bright, affectionate, loyal and sparky but also he was calm at the same time, he knew how to have fun but he never went out of control. He was very good at reading people and situations. A smashing little dog.

@wherestheweightlosspill Thank you!! We think he's about 3! Would love to see Dougal!!

@wherestheweightlosspill
So adorable!!!!

[wherestheweightlosspill]

I think so but I’m biased

We have one. A rescue from Bosnia. Lovely dog.

@Frenchdressing

aren't rescues the best? They are so loving

[Frenchdressing]

Yes!

[Allfurcoatandnoknickers]

Yes I think so! Our Romanian rescue looks like a kokoni

[Allfurcoatandnoknickers]

He’s just a big floof

Blimey she looks so similar to ours!!

Hi, It turns out I have two of them and I didn't even know! And here's the thing, I live in South America, right above the equator, so the place is really hot, and I have one (Phoenix) that has 3 layers of fur!

Sooo cute!!

Well, I don't know what made me google this this evening but I can't believe that a thread I started 6 years ago is still going - and that there are so many MNetters who are Kokoni owners! I hope you and your fur babies are all doing well, aren't they a delight? My boy is 16 now - he's slower, arthritic and his eye sight isn't so great but he's still living his best life. He's curled up next to my feet snoozing like he was when I last posted 2 years ago! I recently had to do something like insurance or vets forms and saw that Kokoni is listed as a breed now. They're the goodest dogs

I'm so glad you created this post! I rescued an amazing little dog from crete 3 years ago and always thought she was a saluki mix. But someone in the street told me last week that she's clearly a kokoni! So I googled, and found other beautiful ginger doggos sooo much like her. I'm stopped daily by people telling me how pretty she is. Lovely to see so many other rescues on here too. She's a lush little thing. Has a tail like a pony!

[GinBunny]

Welcome to the Kokoni club @GINGERGRACIE1! I drop into this thread every now and then and am always glad to see that people are still posting. My boy is 16/17yo now and his arthritis isn't good. But he still loves life and has the most adorable nature. He's such a precious boy.

I have a 11 mth Kokoni male. Very energetic. I’ve never seen a dog whose tail fans out. Very unique
