India's Mudhol Hounds now a part of PM's security

The Mudhol Hound breed, native to Karnataka, is considered to be one of the most superior breeds of Indian hounds available in the country for their excellent hunting skills and instincts that distinguish it from other dogs. "This is one of the best Indian breed dogs that can be used in the security of one of the highest dignitaries of the country because of their strong sense of instinct that can even detect a terrorist and kill them if the need arises. They can very much be used for hunting down terrorists. After training they are also able to detect suspicious individuals from a crowd; they are able to detect bombs and drugs too. They are by nature hunters and their basic instinct is to hunt animals. This gives them excellent hunting and guarding skills. They are among the most superior hound breeds available in India," Dr Mahesh Akashi, Professor from the Canine Research and Information Centre, Timmapur, Karnataka, told The Sunday Guardian.
