A brief presentation of the Kanni
The Kanni, also known as the spinster girl, is a rare indigenous sighthound line from southern India found in the states of Tamil Nadu, Tirunelveli, Kovilpatti, Kazhugumalai, Kileral, Kodangipatti, SIvakasi and Madurai. The breed is mainly used for game hunting. In ancient times, it was generally used for hunting by Zamindars (Aristocrats) and landlords.

History of the Kanni
The name Kanni means "pure" in Tamil and was given to this breed for its loyalty and purity of heart. The Kanni is also known as the master of beasts for its voracity in defending its territory against other wild animals and because they are often given to the bride as their guardian. Although they had different colors in the gifts of this breed, only black and beige dogs during weddings were generally followed as a practice. This led to the misnomer of black and beige breeds as Kanni in dogs as well as goats in the future. Even though the natives call this breed Kanni, the Kennel Club of India (KCI) has registered it with two names. It has registered the black and beige dogs of this breed as Kanni and the rest as Chippiparai respectively. The exact origins of the Kanni breed are unknown and unfortunately, the breed has become extremely rare and no efforts are currently underway to revive it.

Temperament of the Kanni
The Kanni is generally shy, but will always defend its home or master if the need arises. Kanni dogs are extremely loyal and easy to train, but will always think independently on the hunt. They are good companions, loyal and friendly to the family.

Needs and activities of the Kanni
Kanni needs and activities This breed is used to hunt deer, hare and other rodents. Kanni usually run very fast to catch their prey. They smell and track hares. While hunting, he can quickly respond to his owner's gestures towards a running rabbit. The key to Kanni's ability as a racing dog lies in its light but muscular build, big heart, double suspension gallop and extreme flexibility of the spine, just like Cheetah's.

Maintenance of the Kanni
These pedigree dogs live in temperate climates. A minimum of veterinary care is all they need. They need open space and a conscious territory. That's why this breed is suited to the village and not to life in the city. Kanni eats millet, corn, ragi, jowar and rice porridge with milk or curd and non-vegetarian foods.
