Hello

From Andhra Pradesh comes the Jonangi, a short-haired, agile dog that once guarded duck farms and herds. They’re known for digging their own cooling dens in hot weather.

Why It’s Disappearing:

The reason behind them being completely wiped out is mainly the shift that took place from traditional duck farming to modern aquaculture. It led to the breed’s mass abandonment. As of now, only a rare few survive, and that too in completely remote areas.

Why They Deserve Saving:

1. What’s a trait that you, as a dog owner, look for in dogs?
2. Independence, intelligence, attachment, and loyalty, well, that’s Jonangis for you.
3. They are mostly known for their ability to adapt to harsh conditions, enabling them to easily survive the Indian climate.

The Comparison:

While foreign breeds like Border Collies are celebrated as herders, Jonangis offer the same brilliance, tailored for Indian environments.



Every time we lose a native breed, we lose centuries of adaptation, survival, and cultural heritage. Rajapalayams, Kombais, Chippiparais, Kannis, and Jonangis are not just dogs, they’re living history. Unlike imported breeds that suffer in our heat, these dogs are naturally suited to thrive here.

So, what can you do?

• Adopt, don’t shop, and choose Indian breeds or indies.
• Support conservation efforts, promote breed-specific awareness, and events.
• Spread the word, share their stories on social media.

Because they have guarded and protected us and our lands for years and centuries. So now, it’s our turn to guard their future.
