Description
| This section possibly contains original research. (July 2011) |
Appearance
The typical colors are fawn, black, reddish brown, black tinged coat, silver-grey, with very limited or no white markings and long curved tail. Other colors, particularly variations of grey and fawn also occur. This is a medium dog, around 25 inches or 63.5 cm at the withers.,[3] in a recent study males averaged approximately 63.0 cm and females approximately 56.0 cm at the withers.[4] It has a short coat that is very close; on the whole the coat if kept groomed has a shine on it. A shining, shell-like appearance is greatly desired. This kind of coat makes it ideal for hot climates. This hound is also less prone to ticks and fleas, with their short coat providing easy detection. The overall appearance is very similar to that of the Sloughi, or the Rampur Greyhound.
Temperament
The Chippiparai is a robust animal needing little or no veterinary care. It is active during young stages. It does need lots of exercise, as it was and is meant to hunt. Chippiparai is an intelligent breed and a wonderful watch dog. Contrary to the belief that it is a one-man dog, the Chippiparai gets along well with people other than its owner if it is properly socialized. Chippiparais love human companionship and are averse to being in isolation. They are capable of great speed and can overtake a hare with ease.
The Chippiparai is not a fussy eater. It is easy to groom and does not shed much due to its short coat length.
Health
Generally the breed is healthy. Though sturdy enough to cope with limited means and harsh weather conditions, the breed does suffer from cold weather. They have certain general health issues such as sensitivity to anesthesia and food allergies.
Future of the breed
The breed is rare in dog show circles. However, there are multiple recent campaigns by breeders based at southern districts of Tamil Nadu to increase the awareness about this breed. These campaigns are showing progress and there is an increased interest amongst people living in rural areas with large open farms. Besides other Native dogs Chippiparai take place at Kolkata also.

4.Karuppi, from the film Pariyerum Perumal BA BL, is a cross-breed that has a close resemblance to a Chippiparai. Though it has a close resemblance to a Chippiparai, a breed known for its running and hunting skills, Karuppi is not a pure-breed. “It is a cross-breed,” said Mari Selvaraj, director of the film
