Rampur Greyhound
The Rampur Greyhound or the "Rampur Hound" is a large breed of sighthound native to the Rampur, [Uttar Pradesh|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. 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.
