Bakharwal These mountain dogs are an ancient breed of working dogs found in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, in India. It is bred by nomadic tribes as a livestock guardian dog and settlement protector. However, a recent study says that this species is on the verge of extinction. The Bakharwal Dog does not only take its livestock guardian duties seriously, but it guards its master with the same dedication and fierceness as it would a flock that is under its care. The Bakharwal Dog is a protective, reliable, and loyal companion. It displays affection for its master openly and is capable of forming strong attachments to its human companions. The Bakharwal Dog is known to be good natured and well behaved with children, as it will consider them part of its “herd” therefore guarding and protecting the child with enduring intensity. The Bakharwal Dog would never intentionally harm a human. The breed is playful, and will enjoy being included in family activities. The Bakharwal Dog is generally tolerant of other pets, often including them among the herd as it does with children. As the Bakharwal Dog was, and is still today mainly used as a working dog and livestock or property guardian, the breed has an independent nature that has been perfected over the course of time and through its working development. They are highly resistant to the climatic changes and many diseases.
