A very rare breed of Indian dog. They were first recorded in the mining regions of Chile in the sixteenth century. The breed has many different characteristics, but they all have ruby red eyes. What makes them special is their ability to smell precious metals and gems. In the past, they were used by miners to locate more veins in the mountains and mines. Today, modern technology far surpasses their range and penetration, and the dogs are no longer used in this capacity. However, many miner families in South America still own these dogs for traditional reasons. The dogs are now kept as pets by both supernaturals and humans around the world. The myths surrounding them tell of the idea that these dogs bring good luck to owners who treat them well. Whether this is true or just an invention of a good humane society is unknown.
Breeders
There are only a handful of breeders in the world who breed this breed. They are fairly high maintenance and do not breed easily. When bred with other breeds, they often lose their psychic abilities and their distinctive ruby red eyes. These eyes, which bioluminesce in the dark, are what make these dogs so valuable.
Maintenance
Like all dogs, they need a meat-based diet, regular attention and walks. They enjoy playing with their owners and other dogs. What makes them different from other dogs is that they will chase people wearing jewelry made of precious metals and gems. They love the scent of these things. It is advisable to have a few high quality pieces of jewelry for them to play with.
Jewelry Thiefs
A group of jewellery thieves have become famous for using these dogs to steal high-value jewellery pieces.
It is likely that this has happened a lot more and these kinds of dogs are usually forbidden from entering jewellery stores.
There is so much scope for family pet as puppy getting into all sorts of strife here. Very cool :-)
