The Kokoni, also known as the Small Greek Domestic Dog, Greek Kokoni or Meliteo Kinidio, is a small companion breed from Greece whose name simply means "little dog" in Greek. Dogs of this type have lived alongside people in the region for millennia and appear on ancient Greek vases dating back to the fifth century BCE. For much of its history the Kokoni developed naturally as a household and village dog rather than through planned breeding. It was recognised by the Kennel Club of Greece in 2004 but is not recognised by the FCI or the UK Kennel Club, and it remains uncommon outside its homeland.
This is a genuinely small dog: adults stand roughly 23 to 28 cm at the shoulder and weigh 4 to 8 kg, with a body noticeably longer than it is tall, drop ears and a bushy tail. The medium-length coat can be straight or slightly wavy, comes in any colour, and needs brushing once or twice a week. Kokonis are cheerful, alert and strongly people-oriented, getting on well with children, other dogs and even cats, which makes them well suited to families, singles and older owners alike. They are quick to learn and content with a couple of daily walks and some play, and they typically live 13 to 16 years.
