Kombai is not a dog for beginners.

Kombai is a village in Tamil Nadu, India.This breed originated in the southern area of India. This breed's brown and red coats, together with its black mask,

have led to the assumption that it is descended from foxes. The existence of this breed can be dated all the way back to the 15th century.

They were employed to hunt wild boar, bison, and deer in ancient times. Additionally, some individuals claim that these canines were utilised by the Marudhu brothers' army. In the early nineteenth century, the Marudhu brothers, also known as Marudhu Pandias, led a revolt against the British conquest of the Sivagangai Kingdom's Kalaiar Koil.

Kombais need daily exercise. If you can’t provide enough physical activity for these dogs, then its best not to own one.

A large enclosed area is best for these dogs as they can run freely when you are busy.

Walks and games are highly recommended because the only thing they love more than exercise is exercise with their master.

Overall, the Kombai dog is a kind and devoted breed. When it comes to children and families, they have a nice disposition, however they can be hostile against outsiders at times.

To prevent your Kombai from succumbing to their natural protective instincts, socialise them from a young age.

When your Kombai is still a puppy, introduce them to a wide range of individuals of all ages.

This will encourage your Kombai to be more social.

We don't recommend feeding a native dog breed like Pedigree commercial food because it puts your dog at risk of becoming obese.
Kombai can be fed home cooked meals like chicken and rice with broth, or any meat combination with the right amount of bones and cartilage to chew on.

Although the Kombai’s coat is short and coarse, it is known to shed. However, a good brushing once or twice a week is enough to take care of the Kombai’s shedding.

Like all dogs, they love a good massage, so turn the grooming session into an indulgent spa session, with the use of gentle strokes with a soft brush or hound mitt!
