The Jallikattu protest created huge awareness about native breeds. Tamil Nadu youngsters are willing to buy or adopt native dog breeds Rajapalayam, Kanni, Chippiparai, Kombai and other breeds.
There is an increase in demand for native breeds because people are proud of the history of their native breeds.
RAJAPALAYAM DOGS:This breed looks like a miniature Great Dane, with its powerful, muscular, and heavy build. It is a typical boar hound which was used for hunting wild boar and hare. It is usually white in colour.
KOMBAI DOGS:Born and bred in Tamil Nadu, India, the Kombai is a sight hound par excellence. They make lovable pets and are also known to guard their home and family with their lives. The stocky, muscular Kombai is rumored to be strong enough to kill a bear. Their lineage and upbringing in the diverse subcontinent ensure that they have very few breed-related health issues, so they’re capable of living and living well in most kinds of weather.
CHIPPIPARAI DOGS:he streamlined, lithe, and graceful Chippiparai is a sight hound that originated and has been bred in Tamil Nadu in South India. Often compared to the Greyhound because of its equal agility and lean body, as much as this feature is true of most Indian hounds, the Chippiparai epitomises the strong and silent hound dog. These are perfect guard dogs for homes as well as estates, sharp and brave enough to protect the family and affectionate and loyal enough to make a great family pet. This breed is also known to make a great one-man dog, because of their ability to imprint on one human being and become a dedicated companion to him or her for the rest of their lives.
KANNI DOGS:
The Kanni is found in and around Tirunelveli, Pollachi, Kovilpatti, Kazhugumalai, Kileral, Kodangipatti, Sivakasi, and Madurai. It is said that the name Kanni (which means ‘unmarried girl’) comes from the fact that the dog used to be given as a gift to the bridegroom just before the marriage. They are usually of four colours, brown, cream, black & tan, and brindle. The Kanni is kept by families who do not sell them but may gift them if a promise is made to look after them well. They are not allowed to roam the streets and are brought up as pet animals.
