ஜல்லிக்கட்டுக்கு தடை விதிக்கப்பட்டதால் தமிழக காளைகள் அழிந்து வருவதாக,தமிழக இளைஞர்கள் மிகப்பெரிய போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்டனர்.தமிழக காளைகளைப் போலவே,தமிழகத்தின் நாட்டு நாய்களும் அழிந்து வருகின்றன
#கன்னி
சுயமாக சிந்திக்கக் கூடிய நாட்டு நாயினம் என்பது கன்னியின் சிறப்பு.மிக எளிதாக மனிதர்களுடன் நட்பு பாராட்டும்.முற்காலத்தில் புகுந்த வீடு செல்லும் மணப்பெண்களுக்கு சீதனமாக கன்னி இன நாய்கள் வழங்கப்படும்.
#சிப்பிப்பாறை
முயலை விட வேகமாக ஓடக்கூடியது.மணிக்கு 45 கிலோ மீட்டர் வேகம் வரை ஓடும்.மற்ற நாட்டு நாய்களை விட,மனிதர்களுடன் நெருங்கிப் பழகும்.வேட்டையில் சிறப்பாக செயல்படும்.
#கோம்பை
பண்ணைகளை காவல் காப்பதில் கோம்பையை அடித்துக் கொள்ள ஆள் கிடையாது.சற்று ஆக்ரோஷமாக நடந்து கொள்ளும்.ஒரு எருமையை தனியாளாக வேட்டையாடும் திறமையுடையது.
Most of these breeds are quite unheard of let alone seen by most of the people in India. The fad for international breeds leading to over-breeding of the popular Western breeds has also resulted in some Indian breeds almost becoming extinct. Certain individuals across the country slowly realised this issue and decided to revive many such breeds. Here is a list of 9 breeds that belong to India:
1. Chippiparai

One of the many sighthound breeds originating in India, this dog is bred by royal families in Chippiparai near Madurai district Tamil Nadu. Primarily used for hunting boar, deer and hare; it was later kept as a symbol of royalty and dignity.
2. Indian Pariah Dog
Indian Pariah Dog
The most primitive and ancient breed of dog known to us that belongs to India is this Indian Pariah. A relative of Dingo, this breed has no trace of genetic tweaking or modification from the human side. Owing to this, they share an appearance with various other primitve pariah-type dogs around the world like the Basenji (Africa) , Dingo (Australia), Podengo (Australia) etc.
Note: Do not mistake this breed for the stray/ mongrel dogs we see on the streets as they have a lot of other breeds mixed in them over the years. Whereas the INDog (name coined for this breed) is meant to be pure in their primitive heritage.
3. Mudhol/Caravan Hound
Caravan-Hound
This breed is known by various names across different cultures and groups. Known as ‘Karwani’ by village-folk around the Deccan Plateau region, who usually adopt this breed as companions for hunting and guarding. KCI (Kennel Club of India) recognizes this breed as ‘Caravan Hound’ whereas INKC (Indian National Kennel Club) opts for the name ‘Mudhol Hound’. To add to that, the feathered variety of this breed is known as ‘Pashmi’. Talk about one dog - multiple personalities.
4. Rampur Hound
RAMPUR_HOUND
One of the more popular names in the list, the Rampur Greyhound (alternate name) is native to the Rampur region in Northern India, that lies between Delhi and Bareily. It was a preferred breed by Maharajas of this region to hunt big game and protect against fierce animals like jackals, lions, tigers, leopards and panthers. The Rampur Hound is known for its endurance as it was built to cover large distances at great speeds.
7. Kombai
Kombai
Another hound from South India, the Kombai (Combai) was bred to hunt boar, bison and deer since as early as the 9th Century. In comparison with the Rajapalayam, the Kombai has a tan coat with usually a black muzzle. The jaws are wider and much stronger as well. In recent times, this breed is highly endangered and can be found in scarcity in a few regions and a couple of specialized kennels.
9. Kanni
Kanni
Kanni is a rare indigenous breed of sighthound also bred in Tamil Nadu. They are closely related to the Chippiparai and are said to be descendants of the Saluki. These breeds were built to hunt deer as they are very agile and light on their feet. Usually a silent dog, they are great as guards of their owners and easy to train. However, they act independant when on a hunt as is their disposition. This is one of the rarest breeds on the list, almost on the verge of extinction. Due to the lack of proper specimen available, no proper effort has been taken to revive the Kanni breed.
