The Chippiparai is a
breed of
dog from the south of
India, particularly the area
around Periyar Lake. It is used primarily for hunting wild boar, deer and hare.
It is said to be an excellent hunter, and is also used for guarding the home.
The typical colour is a silver-grey, with very limited, or no white markings.
This is a very handsome dog, being tall (27-32 inches at the withers) and
powerful. The breed is very rare and difficult to find, it is limited to the
isolated villages such as Vandi Periyar. It may be lost soon if steps are not
taken to ensure its survival in its natural habitat.
