Jonangi jagila/Kolleti Jagila

Jonangi Jagila is the native breed from Andhra pradesh,India. Its short dog,with very short shiny coat. Its used for guarding and herding ducks

[blockquote] is there a healthy population in andrha pradesh ?[/blockquote] not much,very few dogs were left,its in the verge of extinction.Now quite a few people were showing interest in this breed. [blockquote]Anyone else see a little bit of a resemblance to a pharaoh hound in this picture?[/blockquote] Except Erect ears i dont find any resemblance.This is very short dog and body type is quite different when compared to pharaoh

wow! never knew that they were like this! hahahahaha they look unique.. how was their temperament? i thought that they'd be smaller.. what was their function?

Interesting breed. Are they only white (or light) colour? video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWqQ2SADLwk

[blockquote]Interesting breed. Are they only white (or light) colour?[/blockquote] As of now we doesnt have much info about this breed.i am still digging into it. According to people who keep this dogs they come in white,wheat color,black... i think they mostly come in solid colors @arun They have used for guarding and herding ducks. They have proper temperment to perform above functions @Scarlette i think they can be compared to mexican hairless ,but no way related to them

They seem to belong to the aboriginal dog group (basenji like characteristics). Not got around to doing a study on this breed/landrace but it is on my list of things to do ;-) Regards, Yaj.
