| Overview | The Shih Tzu is a popular small companion for Indian apartments. Its coat needs regular grooming, and hot humid weather can be hard if the dog is kept in a long show-style coat. | The Basenji is a clean, low-odour hound famous for not barking in the usual way. It can suit Indian homes, but its independence and chase instinct require secure handling. |
