Stories from the street and the field
The white coat problem: deafness in Rajapalayams, and the question every breeder dodges
Congenital deafness runs through depigmented lines at rates nobody publishes. Here is how it happens, why the show ring made it worse, and the ninety-second test you can run on a puppy before you pay.
What a native puppy should actually cost — and why ₹45,000 is a red flag, not a quality signal
We tracked asking prices across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra for eight months. The pattern is clear: the highest-priced listings are consistently the least verifiable.
Conservation · 5 minThe Kanni was never sold. That tradition is now the reason it is disappearing.
A dog given as part of a bride's dowry stays inside village kinship networks. When those networks contract, so does the gene pool — with no market to buffer the fall.
Field notes · 5 minStop calling them strays: the INDog is a landrace, not a failure state
Four thousand years of natural selection produced the healthiest, most climate-appropriate dog available in this country. We import Huskies instead.
