Rajarajan N M, a passionate dog breeder with over eight years of experience in dog breeding. His mission? Raising healthy, happy puppies and elevating the breeds he loves: Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, and the Bully Kutta. At his kennel in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, Rajarajan prioritizes breeding practices to ensure the well-being and betterment of these dog breeds.





A Lifelong Love for Dogs


Rajarajan's story with dogs began in his childhood, with a couple of special Indian street puppies by his side. Over the years, his heart has been captured by various breeds, from Doberman to Beagle and the courageous German Shepherd. But his true passion lies with the Great Dane and the historically significant Bully Kutta, once used during the Chola dynasty.


Rajarajan On Breeding


For Rajarajan, responsible breeding is paramount. Here are the cornerstones of his approach:


  • Healthy Parents, Healthy Pups: Regular vet checkups, nutritious food, and a clean living environment are essential for both the mama and papa dogs, and of course, their adorable offspring.
  • Planned Breeding Cycles: Responsible breeding starts with patience. Breeding doesn't begin until the dogs are mature (around 2-2.5 years old) and occurs only once a year. This allows for proper recovery and prevents overbreeding.
  • Selective Breeding Practices: Choosing breeding pairs goes beyond looks. Temperament, health, and adherence to breed standards are all crucial considerations. This ensures desirable traits are passed on and negative ones are avoided.
  • Transparency is Key: Honesty is the best policy. A good breeder like Rajarajan will be upfront with you about a dog's health, personality, and needs. They'll also provide all necessary documentation, like vaccination certificates.
  • Passion Over Profit: Breeding shouldn't be a money-making scheme. True breeders prioritize the well-being of the breed and the health of their dogs.



Genotype vs. Phenotype: It's All About Balance


Rajarajan acknowledges the importance of both a dog's physical appearance (phenotype) and its genetic makeup (genotype). While a beautiful coat and floppy ears can steal hearts, he emphasizes the significance of good genes. These genes influence a dog's health, temperament, and ability to perform its intended function. By focusing on genotype, breeders can ensure future generations of healthy and robust pups.
