COMBAI (Web link ....)

• The Combai is a bear hound found in the south of India
• This breed of dog is slightly shorter than the Rajapalayam , but appears heavier because of its powerful build.
• The Combai is usually red or brown, with a black mask, and with a dark line along the back.
• The chief differences between the Rajapalayam and the Combai breeds are that the Combai has more powerful jaws, often with a black mouth, much more pendent ears, rich red colour and a savage temper.
• It has, like Rhodesian Ridge back, a ridge of fur along its back.
• Their coats are easily maintainable, and are less prone to skin disorders, fungal and yeast infections, and parasite infestation.
• The breed, having evolved naturally many centuries ago, is more immune to most diseases compared to the man-designed breeds.
