Mudhol and Caravan are one and the same. Quoting from Wikipedia:

The Mudhol Hound, also known as Caravan Hound is an Indian breed of dog of the sight hound type... The KCI registers it as a Caravan Hound while the INKC uses the name Mudhol Hound

I believe this is how a Yellow Lab should look like (unfortunately most fellows whom I encounter are all "fat blobs" - I know its no fault of theirs)

Lovely guy. I have kept my Lab in near fit condition and I get to hear from many that the poor guy is not well fed.

Ha! That just shows the picture people have of labs. Great job keeping your guy fit! Our vet told us that as long as you can feel the ribs on the side, its not overweight.

Tobo looks perfectly healthy. 90% of the labs I have come across are overweight and the reason people associate a healthy lab being underweight.

Problem with Labs is they don't know when to stop eating. Owner keep thinking that his pet is hungry and keep feeding them. Coupled with lack of exercise it create fat blobs you see now days.

As hunting/working dog labs require lot of exercise and stuff to keep them busy. Labs do start overeating due to boredom too.

And they and retrievers are the absolute best beggars in the world! Nobody can do, "I haven't eaten for a week: just one little morsel to save my life, please?" like Labradors and Retrievers

Since you mentioned beggars, I have a Beagle at home and the kind of faces she makes when someone is eating something is just a sight to watch.

I have even heard people say "looks like you don't properly feed her, poor thing is hungry".

Labs have a huge appetite, they will simply lap up what ever quantity of food they are offered. My Lab puts up such a sad face that at times he manages to get a second meal from unwary family members. The best part is that the second meal disappears as fast as the first one.

Talking of lab and exercise, which dog would not want to go for long walks everyday when you give them access to the right environment 🙂.

Hi Blore Tbhpians,
When i check with breeders back in Kerala and with my friends in TN, they always say that good breeds of dogs are available in Bangalore only.
And heard most of the people purchases or imports puppies from Blore.
Any idea why it is so?

Im still in a shock of loosing my 10 year old labrador 2 years ago :(

My main hobby when in Blore is to go for an early morning walk in Cubbon park area and enjoy seeing all sorts of dogs having a good time with their owners. mann, i just love dogs!!
Any good breeders anyone can share so that i can go and see some amazing pups.

cheers,
joe

Honestly, breeders are always a hit and miss. Most of them are profit oriented, and do not check dog breed compatibility, and therefore often puppies may have genetic issues being passed on and mothers in poor conditions.

If you want a smart pup / dog / companion - I'd say look at adopting a pet from the various veterinary hospitals / animal rights agencies instead. PAWS, YODA, etc. are a good starting point and you can check their pages out on Facebook.

Our past three German Shepherds have all been adopted. Yes - they too may not be in 100% fit shape, like Zorro who has hip dysplacia, but at least you're not supporting an unethical practice and giving a deserving one a loving home.

In fact, you should look for a local breed, who is well suited to the climate conditions you would experience + they are very street smart and loyal companions!

Great info, thanks. My cousin last year bought a lab pup from store and it had hip dysplasia. So now scared of getting pups from stores. Yes, most of the breeders are spoiling it. Anyway will check for the adoption pages.
