Do You Know About The Haofa?
Location: Ukhrul

Indigenous to Manipur's Tangkhul region, this breed of dog is valued for its sharp hunting instincts and loyalty.

Once a vital companion of the Tangkhul hunters, each Haofa was given a unique name and trained accordingly.

Among the Tangkhuls, two types of Haofa are commonly recognised -- a smaller breed used for hunting small game and a larger one with a short bluish-black coat, long muzzle and broad jaws, resembling a bear.

While the population of the purebred Haofa has been steadily declining, the authentic strain is carefully preserved in Phungcham village in the Ukhrul district, where dedicated breeders take immense pride in safeguarding the breed's genetic purity.

Recognising their exceptional abilities and potential for service, the Assam Rifles have begun procuring Haofa dogs for their dog training centre in Jorhat, Assam.
