DON'T MISS AN EPISODE!!
Wonderful interview. Well done Laura and Neil. Informative and interesting, highlighting the Caravan’s plight to a wider audience. This breed is so deserving of recognition and respect. Having traveled around the villages to see the ‘real deal’ in India, I agree with everything Neil says. They are SO typey, they are so distinctive and once seen in the flesh,
cannot be mistaken for the many crossbreeds than abound in Indian show rings. I believe this is a breed worth preserving and will help in any way I can. These dogs are living Indian history and heritage. Thank you Laura, for them to be discussed on your brilliant podcast.
I’ve been a sighthound fancier for over 50 years. I an b9ot set up to breed dogs,nd thr are so many sighthund breeds in danger.What can we do?
Very interesting episode
I was very excited for this Podcast to be released. I have (Nd previously bred) Basenjis so I can appreciate primitive dogs. I also had numerous Greyhounds. Since I spend 2 months in southern India (where I also photographed and wrote an article about Basenjis in Indian, I have a huge appreciation and fascination with native dogs. I will definitely study these dogs more. I’m beyond excited about them. Thank you!
Interesting talk, I have a caravan hound myself and they are very friendly dogs as well – depending on the breed of course as there are about 4-5 different ones in India.
The Indian hounds are very interesting breeds and also very adaptable dogs compared to other breeds and at the same time they are also very neglected as people in India don’t know much about them. I am really happy to see this article and hear the podcast as well and see the word getting spread around.
Additionally, I would like to add that they are also very fast dogs. Mudhol hounds I feel are the second fastest dogs in the world after Greyhounds and go up to speeds of 65 km/h
I could share some pics of my dog if anyone would like too and very happy to add to any insight about my experiences with the breed.
Thanks
