They became famous because of the movie and after that they are not big trending dogs.

My father has many at our farmhouse in but not in our homes in the cities
In our farmhouse, we have a couple of German shepherds and local breeds. These Huskies need a very low temperature. I have dedicated our guest house and installed them with AC so they can use them during summer :/

A quick question though how do you manage them in farmhouse since the temperature can really get high during summer?

These dogs remind me of alangu mastiff dogs that I have seen in Bengaluru, they were dark coloured and strong but not as aggressive as these dogs

Alangu mastiff is long gone they are extinct. The Cholas and Pandiyas were the main breeders which they used for patrolling the forts and important places during the night.

The shelter is large with air coolers but then there are three rooms with air conditioner ..only used in peak summers ..but the walls and roof are really thick and very high so the temperature stays rather pleasant especially with air coolers

Not on the poll list, but perhaps the Australian dingo should be considered.

Technically a wild animal yes, but could possibly be trained to be very efficient at various scenarios.

Okay.. so probably not practical, but I have a love for the Australian dingo so I figured I'd mention it anyway :enjoy:

Are dingos considered as dogs
 

Damn I love this dog. My friend has 2 of them along with a labrador in his farm and I could say these are one of the strongest dogs with the right aggressive temperament. I would love to have one when I move back to my hometown

Dingo looks very similar to Indian dhole wild dog,I've seen videos of these dogs hunting kangaroos they are amazing hunters but they are not native of Australia,they were introduced by Asian people

I've only seen them in South Indian states. Every village farm that I visited of friends & family have a Rajapalyam in their farm. These dogs were used for hunting back in the days but are now used extensively as guard dogs. I have to add, these are among the most loyal dog breeds
