The Rampur Greyhound is a large Indian sighthound that originated in the Rampur region of Uttar Pradesh, India, developed by Nawab Ahmed Ali Khan in the 19th century.
- This breed was primarily developed for hunting large game such as wild boar, deer, and jackals, prized for its exceptional speed and endurance.
- The Rampur Greyhound remains a relatively rare breed and is largely unknown outside of India, with limited international recognition by major kennel clubs.
- In India, the Rampur Greyhound is a cherished breed, especially among enthusiasts of native Indian dogs and those involved in traditional hunting practices, though its numbers are not widespread across all states.
Cost note: Legacy and breeding background can influence long-term care intensity and related spending.
