Rampur hound This lovely dog is a native of West Bengal and now found mostly in Northern India, between Delhi and Bareilly. An actively working breed, Rampur hounds were a hot favourite among Indian maharajas . However, their utility has declined and numbers have dwindled in the recent past.They are at high risk of extinction. The breed loves human companionship, and like most sighthounds tends to keep itself clean and well-groomed. They may appear lazy but will charge if needed. The Rampur in play can be a scary thing to the uninitiated. They like to charge at each other at speed, then butt their chests with extensive force. They are affectionate to their owners, almost to a fault. Even so, the Rampur Hound is still a commanding breed and makes an excellent guard-dog. Generally gentle and sensitive around its own family's children, the Rampur nonetheless tends to be a one-person dog, and has been known to display protective instincts. At times they can also be rambunctious and prone to knocking people over in their enthusiasm. They can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs. Before obtaining a Rampur Hound, size and excercise requirements should be taken into consideration. Relatively robust, it needs plenty of space to stretch its legs and probably would be not be happy to be confined to a small apartment. They can be great guard dogs for big farms and bungalows. It is a better option to adopt Rampur hound in the Indian climatic conditions than a doberman. They are not only taller than the doberman but also intimidating. #pet #india #dogs #nativebreed #indiandog #awareness #dogslove #conservation #westernization #illeffects #rampur #rampurhound #struggletosurvive (at India)
