Coat and looks how to spot one
short coat
A lean, powerful sighthound with a short, smooth coat; in outline it looks rather like a Sloughi.1
Personality what they are like
Kept mainly as a working coursing dog in its homeland, it is a focused, keen hunter by sight. Detailed temperament descriptions from reliable sources are scarce.1
Daily activity how busy a day looks
As a coursing sighthound it needs regular chances to stretch out and run in a secure, fenced space.1
Grooming and care the hands-on bits
The short coat needs only light, occasional brushing.1
The story where it all began
The Rampur Greyhound is thought to descend from early Tazy-type sighthounds of the region. In the 19th century it was crossed with English Greyhounds to add speed, shaping the dog seen today. It remains uncommon and is seldom seen outside India.1

How do I look after a Rampur Greyhound's teeth and ears?
Brush your dog's teeth several times a week, ideally daily, using a dog-safe toothpaste. Check ears every two weeks for dirt or odor, and never insert anything into the ear canal. Regular care prevents problems.4 Furry Diary plan
