The Pariah of India, They're one of India's most flexible and adaptable dog breeds, being both intelligent and kind.
Desi dogs are devoted, affectionate, and streetwise. Indian Pariah dogs make wonderful family companions and get along well with both children and adults.
They have a lot of energy and are great for kids who live an active lifestyle. Indie dogs have considerably superior immunity than foreign breeds, and they may have the best gene pool for Indian circumstances. Because they have evolved over generations to suit subcontinent circumstances, Indian pariah dogs are the least susceptible to the diseases that plague the lineage.
They are widely distributed in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. They can survive in temperatures ranging from -10 to 50 degrees Celsius.
This allows the Pariah to adapt well to the Indian climate, which is a mix of winter and summer months. Summers in some areas are scorching.
This breed, on the other hand, is unaffected by weather extremes. Great Danes, Boxers, Rottweilers, and Doberman Pinschers are examples of dogs that do not do well in cold weather. Bull Dogs, for example, do not tolerate both hot and cold weather conditions and require special care during extreme weather.

In general, an Indian dog is a happy soul. They are a highly social breed, since they would interact with a variety of other canines and people on a daily basis in India. They enjoy being in the company of people and dogs, whom they regard to be members of their family. When they have a specific owner, they are known to form a deep relationship of loyalty and preference for that person.
Outside of their pack, Indian dogs are notorious for becoming territorial. This makes them good watchdogs, but introducing strange canines into their territory may cause them to become protective. They are a very vigilant breed that is wary of new situations, assessing whether or not there is an immediate threat. Barking is a common expression of their cautious and territorial nature; they are a noisy breed!
An Indian Pariah Dog does not require much grooming at all. Outside of the basic grooming necessities, they don’t need much. Imagine living on their own for so many years, you would think they’d be perfectly fine without human intervention for grooming.
