INDIAN PARIHA DOG (STREET DOG) |
Description : A typical Pariah Dog anywhere in the world is of medium size,with
pointed, erect ears, a wedge-shaped head with pointed muzzle, and a
long, curved tail often held curled over the back. They usually have a
short coat in countries with warm climates. The coat color varies from
light tan to dark reddish-brown. Black and tan, piebald and spotted dogs
are also common.
Brief Idea : The
Indian Pariah Dog is also called the INDog (Indian Native Dog) by some
experts. Generally speaking, the Pariah, much like wolves and some other
canids live in packs and scavenges in packs. In India, many INDogs are
neighborhood or community dogs and few are actually feral in the strict
sense. In villages and city slums, they are very often free-roaming pets
of specific individuals or families, given food and usually even names.
In urban and even some rural areas, they are facing increasing
hybridization due to interbreeding with the western purebreds that are
popular among the more affluent members of society. However, in the last
few years they have started acquiring acceptance as pets of the
affluent, largely due to adoption campaigns by animal shelters. They
have an adaptable, friendly nature, high intelligence and trainability
and overall good health, as they have evolved for survival.
Height, Weight : Height: The general average height of this dog is 20 - 25 inches (51 - 64 cm) at the shoulderWeight: Generally about 28 - 45 pounds (12 – 20 kg)
Life Expectancy : A well-looked after pet Pariah may live to the age of 12 – 16 years. There is no research to determine the life expectancy of free-roaming dogs but it is probably considerably less, perhaps 4 – 6 years.
