It resembles the Sloughi in looks.\n\nIt is chiefly a coursing dog and only rarely kept as a companion. Outside its homeland it is very seldom seen.","history":"The breed is believed to come from early Tazy dogs. In the nineteenth century it was crossed extensively with the Greyhound to improve its speed, which shaped its present-day appearance.\n\nIt was kept for coursing game in northern India and remains a working hunting dog in its homeland.","appearance":"A tall, strong sighthound with a short coat and a lean, muscular body, resembling the Sloughi. It is larger and heavier than many sighthounds, with the deep chest and long legs expected of a fast coursing dog.","personality":"Like many sighthounds, it is likely to be reserved, independent and focused on movement. Bred as a working hunter rather than a lap companion, it tends to be calm indoors but explosive outdoors when something runs.","care":"This large runner needs a secure, fenced space where it can sprint, plus regular walks on a lead because its chase instinct is strong. The short coat needs little grooming. Early socialisation helps, and care is needed around small animals."},"recognition":{"fci_number":null,"fci_standard_url":null,"akc_url":null},"sources":{"wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampur_Greyhound","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q38179","wikipedia_revision":1339809465},"profile":{"written_by":"AI model (Claude Sonnet) from the sources above","written_at":"2026-10-15T13:59:38Z"}}}
