Meitei Hui

Dog breed

Overview

Meitei Hui (ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯍꯨꯏ), also spelled as Meitei Huei, is a lesser-known indigenous dog variety from the Indian state of Manipur. It is traditionally domesticated by the eponymous Meitei people. It has often been undervalued and poorly recognized compared to non-native dog breeds.

Every pet is one of a kind. This guide covers what's typical for the breed, but your own dog or cat will have their own personality, quirks and needs — think of it as a friendly starting point, not the final word. Whenever you'd like advice tailored to your companion, the team at OC Pets is always happy to help.
