  • Pictures of Kuchi Dogs for Research

    Dear friends,

    A veterinary doctor here in Italy requires good quality pictures of Kuchi dogs (Sage Kuchi). He is interested in pictures which he can use in a book ... so randomly picking pictures from Internet are of no use to him.

    If you have your own pictures (or from a friend, etc.) and willing to give copyright permissions then please get in touch with me :-)

    Types of pictures that could be of interest are portraits, pictures showing the dog fitting into the Kuchi lifestyle, Kuchi culture, etc.

    Salamuna Omar Khana;

    Kuchi dog as in Afghan herding dog?
    Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620

        Land race Kuchi dogs exist in remote villages throughout Eurasia. The abnormal large (more than 140 lbs) dogs are mixed with Caucasian Ovcharka-saint Bernard and not aboriginal but mongrol's.
