Feral dogs of India

by wikepedia:

Pariah dog, also called pye dog, pi dog or primitive dog, refers to the feral dog of India, Pariah-type feral dogs are typically medium-sized and have yellow to rust-colored coats. The fact that pure bred dogs had been imported into India by the British and many of their successors would have been left behind in 1947 when the British left, must be a major consideration. A 2004 Swedish study of mitochondrial DNA found that dogs (Canis lupus dingo) in Southeast Asia are from southern China, not from India.[1] Indian dogs (Pariah dogs) are C. l. familiaris.

The term used to be an epithet to the same extent that the word pariah could be used to denigrate as well as designate the lowest social caste of Indians, but is now used by kennel clubs with no negative judgment implied.

Africanis

The Africanis is well disposed without being obtrusive: a friendly dog showing watchful territorial behaviour. The breed is independent and territorial, but highly trainable.

Afghan Hound

The temperament of the typical Afghan Hound can be aloof and dignified, but happy and clownish when playing. The breed has a reputation among dog trainers of having a relatively slow "obedience intelligence" as defined by author Stanley Coren^[1] or a recent survey of dog obedience judges.^[2]

However, these tests are subjective, and reliant on obedience tasks, for which Afghans are not naturally inclined. The Afghan Hound has many cat-like tendencies and is not slavish in its obedience as are some other breeds. The Afghan hound has a leaning towards independence. Afghans are likely to refuse or ignore commands from humans or trainers with which they have not developed a close working relationship, but even owners should not be surprised if their Afghan hounds sometimes choose to ignore commands. Although seldom used today for hunting in Europe and America where they are popular, Afghan hounds are frequent participants in lure coursing events and are also popular in the sport of conformation showing.
