In India, dog breeders have for the last 50 years focused solely on their ability to work, especially in the case of Working Dogs. If at all considered, pedigree and pure blood were of little concern. Additionally, dogs have not usually been a part of Indian literature, which usually gives all dogs simultaneously. Research into the origin of native breeds such as Chipiprai is only in its infancy. These factors combine to make it extremely difficult, if not impossible to say much about the origin of most Indian breeds, such as Chipiprai. In the case of Chippiparai, it can be said with certainty that the breed is traditionally found in the oldest parts of the Indian subcontinent, especially in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and is a kind of genius dog. Something more has been said about its origin that it is little more than pure speculation. It is safe to say that this breed is probably very closely related to other native eighth breeds of India, Rampur Greyhound, Kanni, Mudhol Hound, Kambai and Rajapalayam, but the exact relationship between these breeds is unclear. One of the greatest mysteries around Chipiparai is the age of the breed. Chippiparai is almost certainly a very old breed, but it could have been developed anywhere from several hundred to several thousand years ago.
Of the many possible fundamentals for chipping, three are the most likely. Most sources claim that Chippiparai is similar to Saluki and probably a descendant of that breed. The saluki is perhaps the oldest purebred dog in the world, with archaeological evidence suggesting that the breed was first developed by ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia 7,000 years ago. It has long been proven that Saluki was the ancestor of all kinds of wounds, and that this breed spread to the ancient world with trade and conquest. Saluki has long been extremely popular in Arabia and Persia, where it is considered distinct from all other breeds. India has been in close contact with Arabia and Persia for thousands of years, providing ample opportunities for the introduction of Saluki. The region where Chippiprai flourished is one of the regions in India that traditionally had the least contact with the Middle East, presenting Saluki perhaps not directly from his homeland but indirectly from northern India. had gone.
In recent years, genetic tests have shown that the Satuids may not have all descended directly from Saluki, but were developed independently several times throughout history in various locations, including the British Isles and the Maghreb. Such a place was almost certainly on the grounds that today include Afghanistan and the former Soviet republics of Central Asia. The region is home to several ancient eighth breeds such as Taigan, Tazi, Afghan Hound and Horta Borsaya. The Indian subcontinent probably has far more contacts and connections with Central Asia, often a turbulent relationship that was also recorded in India's earliest records. Chippiparai and other Indian lighthouses, in this writer's opinion, are largely similar to Central Asian lighthouse than Saluki, and the long history of contact makes it more likely that Indian breeds are likely descended from Central Asian dogs. . It is also very possible that Chippiparai and other native Indian breeds were developed entirely from local dogs. India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, with the mysterious Indus Valley Civilization reaching its peak at about the same time as Egypt and Mesopotamia. It is very possible, and in this writer's opinion, very likely that the ruling nobles of the Indus Valley Civilization (also known as Harappans) developed their Hunting Dogs, much like the Westerly contemporaries. These Harappan Hunting Dogs may very well be the victim of an eighth wound, and possibly the ancestor of all Indian eighth breeds.
Chippiparai is a very low-maintenance breed. These dogs never require professional brushing, just a regular brushing. In addition, only those routine maintenance procedures that all breeds require such as nail clipping and an occasional bath are necessary. There seems to be no report on the pretext of Chippiprai. It is reasonable to assume that this breed is shed, but probably not heavy.
This breed is quite intelligent, but also independent and often stubborn, so they can be a challenge to train. They like to give and receive affection and do their best with positive, reward-based training. They are sensitive and will not react well to harsh orders or punishments. Patience and consistency are important. They have an excellent sense of smell as well as a strong hunting drive. Because they were bred to concentrate and to follow a trail without distraction, they may not always pay attention to you if they are busy with something more interesting.
This breed is classified as "somewhat active", but is average. Long segments of quiet activity are often spread with brief bursts of high activity, often simply moving around the house or yard. In addition to walking, daily play sessions are required. Another dog can be a good exercise partner, but they will still need quality playtime with his owner. A fence-backed backyard is a good idea; Bichons are surprisingly fast, and if someone makes a dash for freedom, it can be difficult to catch or call you back. They enjoy obedience, agility and participating in rally competitions.
They should perform well on high-quality dog food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your vet. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog's calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog's weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, freshwater must be available at all times.
It does not appear that any health studies have been conducted on Chippiprai which makes it impossible to make a definitive statement on the health of the breed. However, the breed's veterinarians and fanatics are universal in their opinion that it is an incredibly healthy breed. No genetic problems have been identified in this breed, and most specimens live their entire lives without any serious health problems. This does not mean that Chipperae is immune to genetically inherited diseases, but it does mean that the breed suffers from them at lower rates than most and most purebred dogs. Not only is chippiparai largely free from inherited diseases, but it is generally not susceptible to infectious diseases and parasites. After centuries of living in India, Chippiparai has developed natural resistance and immunity to most communicable diseases and parasites, and they are less likely to develop and die than most breeds.
Although skeletal and visual problems are not thought of in this breed at high rates it is advisable for owners to keep their pets by both the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) Do the test. OFA and CERF perform genetic and other tests before identifying potential health defects. This is particularly valuable in detecting conditions that do not appear until the dog has reached an advanced age, it is especially important for anyone considering breeding their dog , Which has tested them to prevent the spread of potential genetic conditions to their offspring.
Although health studies have not been conducted for Chipiparai, a number have been on similar and closely related breeds. Some of Hound's biggest concerns in those breeds include:
