The Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Science University has appealed to all kennel clubs in the country and outside to recognise Mudhol Hound as a distinct indigenous Indian breed.
The university has sent letters to various international authorities and some Indian agencies to include Mudhol Hound in the schedule of Indian breeds and invite their breeders to national and international shows.
This is expected to make the Mudhol Hound popular in other countries, improve the market for dog sales and benefit the breeders and farmers in and around Mudhol town in Bagalkot district.
