Bali Streetdogs

...its natural beauty and uniqueness has drawn tourists from all over the world. However, amidst this beauty we see many street dogs everywhere. They are mangy, starving and sometimes dangerous. They are left to fend for themselves and roam freely on the streets and beaches, around restaurants and in tourist areas. Their large numbers and extremely bad living conditions create an unsafe and unpleasant environment for everyone.

No one has ever given any attention to Bali’s street dogs.

Many suffer from the agony of maggots, infected wounds, skin disorders, worms and other parasites. Untreated wounds and accidents often result in the loss of limbs.
In contrast, dogs raised with love and proper care are sanitary, energetic and contribute to Bali’s beauty.
The sad condition of the dogs is contrary to the positive image of Bali as a exotic tourist destination. Yayasan Yudisthira, or Bali Street Dog Foundation, has been established to prevent these undesirable conditions by conducting activities with the sole purpose of healing the street dogs and reducing their numbers.
We invite you to spend a few moments exploring this website and learning of the Foundation's work. Please contact us if you have questions or wish to help.

The Kintamani

.... is a dog breed native to the Indonesian island of Bali. The Kintamani dog is an evolving breed indigenous to the Kintamani region of Bali. Kintamani dogs cohabitate with feral Bali street dogs, although folklore has the breed originating 600 years ago from a Chinese Chow Chow.

The physical and personality characteristics of the Kintamani dog make it a popular pet for the Balinese, and efforts are currently under way to have the dog accepted by the Federation Cynologique Internationale as a recognized breed. To study the genetic background of the Kintamani dog, 31 highly polymorphic short tandem repeat markers were analyzed in Kintamani dogs, Bali street dogs, Australian dingoes, and nine American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized breeds of Asian or European origin. The Kintamani dog was identical to the Bali street dog at all but three loci. The Bali street dog and Kintamani dog were most closely aligned with the Australian dingo and distantly related to AKC recognized breeds of Asian but not European origin. Therefore, the Kintamani dog has evolved from Balinese feral dogs with little loss of genetic diversity.
