Abstract
Chippiparai, Rajapalayam and Kanni are the sight-hound type native breeds
of Tamil Nadu and were kept as a symbol of royalty and dignity by the rulers of
Southern India. The data on hemato - biochemical parameters, electrolytes, cardiac
biomarkers, thoracic radiography, electrocardiography and echocardiography is
minimal in these three breeds and so this study was carried out to bring about a
baseline reference range in Chippiparai, Kanni and Rajapalayam dog breeds.
The study was carried out in 72 clinically healthy native dogs viz.,
Chippiparai (n=24), Kanni (n=24) and Rajapalayam (n=24). The breeds were
grouped based on their Age (young - 12, adult - 12) and Sex (female - 12, male -
12) to compare within and between breeds. All the selected animals were subjected
to physical, clinical examination and their body weight was recorded.
