Pashmi Hound
Note: If you have this breed, or know
anyone who does, please send a good profile photograph of the Dog (without humans in the
background). We shall publish it on this page with credits. You can send it either by
e-mail or post.
The Pashmi Hound is identical in features to the Caravan
Hound, except that it has hair growth on the tail, ears, and the underside
near the chest and belly. Also, overall the coat is slightly hairy when
compared to the smooth coat of the Caravan Hound.
Below is a brief of
the Caravan Hound:
The Afghans, Pathans, Mongols, Persians, and the Arabs brought
through the Khyber pass many hounds like the Afghan and the Saluki when they came into
India. The Caravan Hound probably owed its ancestry to these dogs. They were called so
because they used to travel along with the caravans from place to place. It is also said
that the Afghans were given lands to act as a buffer between Aurangazeb's Deccan kingdom
and the Maratha Empire. So the dogs are also found in the same area. They dogs
were usually bred selectively by the villagers to withstand the weather, hunt or for
qualities they appreciated rather than for colour and beauty. This breed is known to be
quite immune to many diseases and has plenty of stamina. |
