I don't think india had any specific dog breed thingy like germans did back in days. Majority of apnay and indians dislike pets and sadly they see dog as a dirty living creature. The only famous and dear dog of india is probably pomeranian lol..

If I am not mistaken, most of the dogs we see today are inventions/cross breeding of early and mid 19th century... like german tax collector made doberman for protection in early 19th century.. one of the dog breed used for cross breeding for dobies can only be located in extinct list. Lab retrievers also came in early 19th century... So my top guess is that dogs of earlier times are gone.. I think work dogs like huskies are probably the oldest living breed because of human dependence on its use as sled dogs up in north.

I saw the old painting of ranjit singh time where his fauj were riding horses, elephants, foot soldiers and i think i did saw few dogs in that picture but they don't look like tamed one (slim figure)..

Do you have a pic of this painting ?

Apparently this dog called a bully <banned word filter activated> is an ancient breed of India that Alexander the Great and xerxes of Persia had exported from India. Not sure how far it's true as I haven't seen any sources to confirm. From what I've heard is the most pure version of this breed is in Pak Punjab because the India side didn't care much for the purity of the breed.

This breed (Rampur) is native to Northern India

Some old paintings show pointer type dogs.

Lots of Bully type dogs in Malwa and around Sirsa, they are used for fighting and their puppies can be more expensive than the imported breeds.

There are also breeds bought over by the English during the Raj such as the English Bull Terrier. These still have features similar to the original breed as opposed to what the breed has become in the rest of the world.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
