Tamilnadu native dogs

Hello, from France,

I would be glad to receive any piece of information about the various Tamilnadu native dog breeds. The one I know the best is the Chipipparai but I was quickly mentioned the Rajapalayam and the Kombai hounds too. I guess other varieties could exist in your large state.
I hope you can help me in my quest for knowledge. Thanks for all in advance.
Best regards,

Mr. Philippe TOURET

Hi,

there are four native dogs which are very famous in Tamilnadu.

1. Rajapalayam
2. Chippiparai
3. Kombai
4. Kanni

I had six Rajapalayams which died unfortunately - yes they were old.
Now I have just bought a pair of Rajapalayam & a pair of Kombai. I am looking for chippiparai and Kanni. I love these native breeds which are very loyal, friendly and can be your body guard too. They do not need vet care unlike the imported breeds.

The saddest part is India is crazy for anything that is foreign. They spend a lot for grey hounds and do not recognize their own hounds.

The other hounds which are famous are the Rampur hounds & the mudhol hounds. I have not seen any of these two yet, but will have my own over a period of time.

Please go through this link for some more Tamilnadu native dogs.
