Rampur 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.
Rampur is a hamlet between Bareilly and Delhi.
His Royal Highness Ahmed Ali Khan Bahadur bred these dogs by combining the blood lines of
very powerful but ferocious Tazi, brought in by the Afghans, and the English Greyhound
that was more obedient but less resistant to the varying climatic conditions. He gave the
name 'Rampur Hound' to the dogs he bred.
This hound is powerfully built with strong jaws. The skull is broad. A powerful dog can
bring down a large bull. The hound also hunts vermin, deer and jackals. |
