The Book of Indian Dogs
S. Theodore Baskaran's 'The Book of Indian Dogs' emerges as a pioneering masterpiece, presenting an exhaustive examination of Indian dog breeds—a first in over fifty years. This scrupulously curated work illuminates twenty-five breeds that stand as pivotal to the illustrious tapestry of India's canine history. Divided into three distinct groups—working dogs, companion canines, and hounds—this enlightening guide unveils a wealth of information regarding each breed's physical characteristics, behavioral nuances, practical applications, origins, and their historical import. While it highlights renowned breeds such as the Caravan Hounds, Chippiparais, and Rajapalayams, Baskaran also explores the lesser-celebrated varieties like the Alaknoori and Jonangi. Culminating from extensive exploration, diligent research, and the author’s profound experience in dog breeding, this homage is not merely a book; it’s an indispensable resource for canine aficionados and a significant stride towards safeguarding India's venerable canine heritage.
