History

[edit]

The Deccan Plateau covers parts of the states ofKarnataka,Maharashtra, and, to a lesser degree,Telangana. The breed is popular in and aroundMudhol Taluk of Karnataka and thus the breed got the name Mudhol hound.[8]

Shrimant Rajesaheb Malojirao Ghorpade of Mudhol (1884–1937) of theMudhol State is credited with reviving the Mudhol hound. He noticed local tribal people calledBedar (Fearless); also calledBerad (not - crying) using these hounds for hunting.[7] Using selective breeding, he was able to restore the royal Mudhol hound. On a visit to England in the early 1900s, the Maharaja ofMudhol State presentedKing George V a pair of hounds, which popularized the Mudhol hound breed.[9][10]

TheIndian Army has expressed its desire to use the Mudhol sighthound for surveillance and border protection duties. It has obtained six Mudhol dogs for testing at the Army's Remount Veterinary Corps atMeerut. The dogs were bred after selection, at the Canine Research and Information Centre inThimmapur near Mudhol inBagalkot district of Karnataka. The CRIC is a unit of the Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University,Bidar.[11]
