The Kaikadi is closely associated with the Whippet
The Kaikadi is of the terrier dog breed, named after a nomadic tribe in Maharashtra, India. They make excellent watchdogs due to the nomadic life they have led watching over herds and they are excellent at hunting hare and vermin. The Kaikadi is very similar to the whippet dogs and due to their history are best suited for large open areas as opposed to being kept in urban home settings.[1]
