Meitei Hui

"Jotin witnessed the turning point of his life on February 14, 2004 when he introduced ‘Meitei Huei’ a local dog breed officially at the first ‘All Breed Dog Show Championship’ in Mapal Kangjeibung."

"... As they began to settle down with agriculture ie domesticating plants, they also learned to domesticate animals, such as Meitei hui (dog) from wild wolves. This was about 10, 000 year ago. So, they became more civilised. ..."

"...the people of the State have failed to protect and preserve indigenous dog breeds like Meitei Hui, Tangkhul Hui, which are very sensitive apart from being one of the best kinds of dog breeds. ... These indigenous dog breeds are on the brink of extinction today due to the inflow of other varieties of dog breeds from outside, he expressed concern, adding that cross breeding of dogs should not be done without the approval of Kennel Club of India."

"One should not forget its capability since it has been here for ages and now have well adapted with our climatic conditions one should not treat our local breed cheaply. The belief of local dog being "dumb" was proved wrong by Jone's (local breed Meitei hui)."

"Dog trainer Nongmeikapam Jotin said that Meitei Hui and Tangkhul Hui are more intelligent and have stronger will power..."
