With the fall of the Maharajahs
from power in 1947, so too, fell the
popularity of the Rampur Hound. The effect of the arrival of the English was
evident to the Rampur, as well as the native Indian people. The English
greyhound was bred into some of the lines, leaving to find a pure Rampur
rare indeed. This remarkable breed balances on the fine line of extinction.
Outside of India, only a handful are known and registered, and are in the U.S.,
state of New Jersey. If anyone reading this article knows of any Rampurs existing
anywhere, or has any info or first-hand knowledge about them, please contact
me through my guest book or email. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
