NEW DELHI: Mudhol Hound, the Indian dog breed being eyed by central paramilitary forces for their canine squads and which had found mention in PM Modi’s ‘Mann ki Baat’ address last year, has not been found to be an ideal police working dog breed in trials ordered by the home ministry.
As per conclusions of field trials of the breed conducted by ITBP and SSB on the directions of MHA’s Police K9 cell, Mudhol Hound, though loyal, agile and healthy, is essentially a sight-hound breed with a nervous temperament that tends to get easily distracted by the presence of any moving object, preferring to chase it rather than concentrating on following scent, a key requirement for any police dog.
