However my father is an asthamatic and is allergic to dogs which shed hair so Im looking at breeds with minimum maintenance and who do not mind spending time alone in the yard or the kennel (as the yard is fenced there will be no need to chain the dog.)A loyal breed which is good with elderly people at the same time intimidating to strangers. Ive heard of a local breed called the "rajapalayam" which is supposed to be good if trained well (however this a sight hound ), am also considering the following breeds , german shepherd , boxer , great dane and the labrador , pls tell me what breed you think would be the best to look after my Dads house and still be a good enough companion for small walks around the country side. We have owned dogs before but they were mixed breed , this is the first time we are looking at pure breds , the average temp. where i stay (Kerala) is around 35 deg. C (HOT) and its quite humid and sweaty , also we have rain showers approximately 6 months of the year.
