This report in the Deccan Herald notes that more “high breed” dogs are
being found amongst the usual rubbish-scavenging strays and blames the
abandonment of unsold young dogs. They say this is fuelling the dog problem by keeping
numbers up and producing strays more likely to be dangerous.
Labrador, Pomeranian, German Shepherd and Greyhound are all amongst those that
have been spotted.
My experience in Thailand is that pedigree dogs are generally still too
valuable to get abandoned on a regular basis but this story perhaps hints at
the future in more and more cities whilst also highlighting the importance of
tackling the abandonment issue. This means targeting the
cause of the problem, namely, dog owners.
