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.EnglishThesis
