Good to hear about the success of various og breeding programmes.

I can't understand why the hounds couldn't survive the "heat" of India. Yet breeds survive and prosper in Australia where the heat is no less in many parts and similar climates. My guess is the expense was more the factor or simple expediency.

Plus dogs raised and selectively bred in such a climates would acclimatise.

All theory of course and historical anyway.

A dog is truly man's best friend and returns the loyalty back.
