My dog is both a service dog and a therapy dog. I don't know why you would say Kokonis are unsuitable as Therapy dogs as their temperament makes them amazing therapy dogs!!! I can't think of many breeds which would be more suitable!

My little Kokoni girl ( long fur) is exactly what she has to be! She is cute, cuddly, devoted and smart. Her name is Ginger, and she's a rescue from Cyprus living for 7 years with us now.

I love this little guy.His looks are priceless. He'll flirt, beg for forgiveness, and show you how much he loves you all with those little brown eyes. The only thing negative i can say about my Kokoni is that he will lick you until your skin falls off.

This page is pretty accurate. I don't see why it is necessary to add the bit about dog fighting into this as it is illegal, cruel and unnecessary. Why is Dogell supporting dog fighting and helping dog fighters find which breeds to use??

Ruby is a wonderful companion on all levels. I would recommend the Kokoni breed, they are bright, intelligent and great fun. Ruby is a rescue from Cyprus where she was a stray.
