group of dogs or breed?[edit]

This needs help.

Is it meant to be about pariah dogs, i.e. feral dogs, or a dog breed called Pariah Dog?

Quill 04:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I originally meant it as being about feral dogs. I hadn't seen the more recent edits that seem to indicate it's a breed, although I'm not convinced that 14,000 years of dogs in random villages makes a capitalization-worthy breed. More info needed. Elf | Talk 21:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm...come to think of it, I believe I've seen reference to some (developing?) breeds being considered pariah dogs by kennel clubs, used as if pariah dog is a category of dogs. Something to add to the look-up list.... Quill 03:36, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When I was working on it in early 2006, I found many breeds referred to as "Pariah-type" but no one breed explicitly called Pariah (though the UKC has a group with that name). I hope the material added to the second & third paragraphs helps clarify feral v. pariah -- Lisasmall 22:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Elf | Talk 22:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me, too. Thanks. Quill 22:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like the article interchangeably talks about three different, somewhat contradictory definitions of pariah dogs: a type, a specific breed, and...I don't understand in what sense you're using "feral" here. This sentence from the article left me confused: "All pariah dogs are feral,[citation needed] but not all feral dogs are pariah dogs in the genetic sense." Hopefully someone with some expertise can sort this out; I just stumbled across the article wondering what the term pariah dog meant (it was used in a recent Wall Street Journal article, "...certain basic types—pariah dogs, sight hounds, mastiffs, spitz-type dogs and small dogs—arose very early...." 71.238.69.41 (talk) 04:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refering street dogs, in the name of a 'cast' which represents people, is very insensitive to those people. We cannot accept that. In local language, especially Tamil, we dont call the dogs Pariah dogs. Just native dogs, or Naatu Nai. I condemn this reference of dog with name of group of people, who are already suffering from caste bias in India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:7284:55AA:D9EE:EE5E:DFD8:D692 (talk) 21:59, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do they have rabies?[edit]

It doesn't mention it but am I justified in thinking that these dogs may be diseased?--Bubulina8888 05:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're not justified in assuming. Rabies is much more common in North America than anywhere else on earth. Don't assume that America is the default for the way things are everywhere. --Charlene 16:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rabies is much more common in the middle of Africa than in the U.S. See Wikipedia article: Rabies#Epidemiology — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.38.132.48 (talk) 09:40, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, Charlene, in the gist of what you are saying, these dogs couldn't have survived if they weren't fairly disease-resistent, and specifically they couldn't have rabies because any animal, humans included, that gets rabies and isn't treated really quickly and agressively by modern medicines, is doomed to death within just a day or two, so therefore these dogs couldn't both survive and have rabies. You are wrong about one thing, though. In the United States, rabies isn't really much of a dog problem anymore. We've had an agressive program of vaccination that has been very successful, so almost no US dogs ever have rabies anymore. Sure, it's still a problem among the wild animals and feral cats, it's not so among dogs because we don't allow street dogs in the US anymore. Street dogs in the US are picked up by dogcatchers (now called "animal control") and taken to shelters for adoption (if possible) and more often "euthanasia", so we don't have street dogs really anymore, and almost no dogs with rabies. Chrisrus (talk) 04:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But rabies is still common in United States wildlife (because of low population density and raccoons, skunks etc.) 172.5.154.148 (talk) 15:12, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pariah Dogs as a category[edit]

There seems to be a lack of information regarding Pariah Dogs as classified by the UKC, and even the UKC "Sighthound and Pariah Group" redirects to the sighthound page. I'm not an expert, just a curious Carolina-dog owner, so I'd love get a response from a more experienced wikipedia editor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C48:6A80:AF:B4D2:ED08:2990:6C3E (talk) 19:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the UKC alone among kennel clubs classifies some dogs as “pariah dogs”, so the best place to find out about their thoughts would be UKC publications. For a topic to be notable for inclusion on Wikipedia it needs to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, this term is only used in this manner by the UKC and as they have applied the term to a grouping of dogs for their own classification, they are clearly not independent of the subject.
