Here's what one site had to say about them which touches on their pigment and eye color:

This race resembles to a large miniature Dane, with his powerful construction, muscular and heavy. It is a typical gun dog for wild boar. It is usually white, the skin being pink. It has a deep breast piece. The hairs are soft on the head but gross on the body. The males make approximately 25 kg and 65 cm with the garrot and the bitches approximately 20 kg and 60 cm with the garrot. It has an arched head which is carried high. The skin is loose everywhere on the body and the eyes are dark and usually brown dark. The ears are hanging and give one of soft leather. The jaws powerful and one are articulated out of scissors. The tail thinned on 1/3 its length giving him an osseous aspect. The legs are long. It needs freedom and space. Correctly educated, it makes an excellent watchdog.

Rajapalayam puppies are good in demand. The Kennel Club of India is promoting this breed.

Rajapalayam dogs are also called as Rajapalayam hounds.
