Facts about Gaddi Dogs
We’re talking about the ‘Gaddi Kutta,’ the favourite of the shepherds.
From what I gathered from my talks with the shepherds, these dogs have been accompanying the Gaddi tribes for as long as one can remember, and herd their livestock real well.
1. Generally found in the Himalayan ranges, gaddi kutta (dog) can be easily spotted herding flocks of sheep with shepherds who are commonly called ‘Gaddis’. The English Name for Gaddi dog is Mahidant Mastiff
2. Gaddi dogs are basically sub-breed to Tibetan Mastiff and have naturally adapted themselves to survive in rough outdoors.
3. Known for its courageous temperament, a gaddi kutta (dog) has unmatched protective instincts.
4. Rocky steep terrains and rapidly changing weather makes the Himalayan region a survival conflict. Moreover, things can get worse when protecting sheep from the predators of the night during the freezing winters.
5. The dog has long legs that are heavy boned and perfectly matched with large feathered feet. Moreover, he’s not as bulky as the Tibetan mastiff, and yet more agile and vigorous.
