Kokoni

The Kokoni is a small Greek companion dog type whose name is often translated as little dog. It developed as a household and village dog rather than a specialized sporting or herding breed, and it is recognized by the Greek Kennel Club. Kokonis are usually compact, lively, and slightly longer than tall, with expressive eyes, drop or semi-drop ears, a plumed tail, and a medium to long coat that can appear in many colors. Their background overlaps visually with other small Greek landrace dogs, so type can vary.

Kokonis are commonly kept as adaptable family companions in apartments, town homes, and rural households. They tend to be alert and people-oriented, so they benefit from daily walks, play, and polite training before barking becomes a habit. Coat care is usually moderate, with brushing needed to prevent tangles behind the ears, tail, and feathering. Dental care matters in small dogs, and weight should be watched. For imported dogs or rescues from Greece, adopters should distinguish a documented Kokoni from a similar mixed small dog while still judging the individual on health and temperament.
