dc.description.abstractThe Rajapalayam dog, a medium-sized, sight-hound breed seen in south India, is studied to assess the distribution and breed characteristics. The breeding tract is Rajapalayam taluk in Virudhunagar district of southern Tamil Nadu. The trademark features are white coat, pink nostrils, golden brown eyes, broad chest and tucked up abdomen. The overall means of body length, height at withers and chest girth in adults were 58.26 ± 0.62, 58.46 ± 0.60 and 63.88 ± 0.90 cm respectively. Sex had significant effect (P< 0.05) on body length and chest girth and highly significant effect (P < 0.01) on height at withers. This study shows that Rajapalayam breed is a unique germplasm, requiring immediate conservation measures.en_US
