Caravan Hound

Dog breed profile

The Caravan Hound, also called the Mudhol Hound, is a traditional Indian breed developed for hunting and guarding. Known for its lean, athletic build, it excels in endurance and speed. These dogs are loyal and alert but can be reserved with strangers. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, though they do shed moderately. Regular exercise is essential to keep this energetic breed happy and healthy. Due to their independent nature, consistent training and early socialization are important. The Caravan Hound is best suited for experienced owners who can provide ample space and an active lifestyle. They thrive in homes with yards where they can run freely but may not adapt well to apartment living. With proper care, they can be devoted companions and effective working dogs.
