The Jonangi, also known as Jonangi Jagilam or Kolleti Jagilam, is an indigenous dog breed from India. Primarily found in Andhra Pradesh, parts of Karnataka, and along the eastern coast from West Bengal to Tamil Nadu, it was historically common near Kolleru Lake in West Godavari and Krishna districts. The Jonangi is a short-haired breed traditionally used for hunting, herding, and guarding.
While not recognized by major kennel clubs, the breed is showcased at local beach festivals in Andhra Pradesh. thumb|Jonangi dogs on guard duty
