intro
The Rampur Greyhound or the "Rampur Hound" is a large breed of sighthound native to the Rampur region of Northern India , which lies between Delhi and Bareilly . It is believed the Rampur Greyhound descends from early Tazys , with their present-day appearance due to extensive crosses to the Greyhound in the 19th century to improve the breed's speed. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Rampur Greyhound is a short haired, powerfully built sighthound that resembles the Sloughi in appearance. It is rarely seen outside of its native land where it is retained as a coursing dog and is rarely kept as a companion. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
