  • The Tamil Nadu State Dog Breeding Policy, 2024 was released recently.
  • The policy prohibits the breeding of dogs that cannot withstand Indian climatic conditions.
  • It includes Pug and Chow Chow on the list of cold climate dogs whose breeding is to be prohibited, given their health and welfare.
  • Though the draft policy, released in February this year, had listed only these nine breeds, the final policy includes two more: Pug and Chow Chow.
  • The final policy has listed Rajapalayam, Kombai, Chippiparai, and Kanni as the recognised breeds of Tamil Nadu.
  • Kattai, Ramanathapuram Mandai, Malaipatti, and Sengottai, have to be standardised, recognised, and registered to prevent the native dogs from becoming extinct.
  • It says the government will take steps to promote breeding of native breeds at centres.
  • The native dogs will not be recommended to be raised in a house with restricted space.
