India's Native Dog Breeds Join Security Forces, PM Modi Praises Move | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India’s native dog breeds are taking charge of the nation’s security forces. Once overlooked in favour of foreign breeds like German Shepherds and Labradors, Indian dogs such as the Rampur Hound and Mudhol Hound are now being trained for patrol, combat, and counter-insurgency duties. The move follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2020 call for self-reliance in canine units, noting their natural adaptability to India’s terrain and climate. Today, these indigenous breeds serve alongside soldiers in some of the toughest regions: a powerful example of local strength meeting national service. --- Native Dog Breed | Dogs in India | German Shepherds | Labradors | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #dogs #dogbreed #germanshepherd #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
