The Rampur hound is a member of the big sighthound family. His natural habitat is the North West of India och he is described as a smooth haired sighthound, substantially built. He is mainly kept in his homeland to hunt the jackal, but is also remarkably capable of tracking down and killing wounded game.
The head of the Rampur is broader and more substantial than the head of the English Greyhound. He has a flat skull and a pointed nose. It has a charactaristic roman bend. The bite is extremely powerful.
The ears are set high, kept smoothly along the head and pointing forward. They are rather big sized.
The eyes are mostly of a yellowish color.
The color of these dogs is mainly mouse grey or black. Black being most sought after.
The coat is short like a newly trimmed horse. But otherwise the constitution of this breed resembles the other sighthound breeds.

The Rampur have so far not ventured outside it's native country India. It has never been seen in a Show ring in Europe and leaves consequently the field open to the ladies and gentlemen of canine research.
