A hound from Uttar Pradesh named Madhuri. These breeds, known for their agility, made history at the 74th Republic Day parade.

In a historic first, the Border Security Force (BSF) will showcase an exclusive marching contingent of indigenous Indian breed dogs during the upcoming Ekta Diwas Parade at Ekta Nagar in Gujarat.

The event, commemorating National Unity Day, will also feature a dog training demonstration highlighting tactical skills and operational excellence — a proud symbol of India’s self-reliance ant K9 force. Indian breeds have long been celebrated for their courage, endurance, and loyalty. From royal courts to battlefields, these dogs have been integral to India’s cultural and martial traditions.
