Many people in India are fond of keeping animals. Some keep dogs, some keep cats, some keep a different kind of animal or bird. But in most people's house, dogs are seen as pets.

But keeping a dog is no longer as easy as before. Now many rules have been made for keeping dogs in India. Especially in cities, guidelines of local authorities are applicable regarding keeping pets. In many cases, it becomes necessary to get a license.

But there are some breeds for which you do not need any kind of license. Dog policy may be slightly different in different states and cities, but in most places license has been made mandatory for foreign and large breeds.

Often people feel that a license is necessary for every pet dog, but in reality it is not so. For the breeds which are considered domestic and less dangerous, you do not need to take any government permission or license. That is, you can easily keep them in your house.

If we talk about these, then most of the dogs are of Indian breed. For example, no license is usually required to keep Indian breeds like Indian Pariah, Rajapalayam, Kombai, Chinkara Hound. The government has kept them in the safe category.

But if you want to keep foreign breeds like Rottweiler, Pitbull, American Bulldog or Doberman, then you need to get a license from the Municipal Corporation or Local Body. Because the government has kept these breeds in the dangerous category and the rules regarding them are strict.

If you want information about any other breed other than the Desi breeds, then you can get information from the local Municipal Corporation. You will get clear information there. For which breed is a license necessary and which breed of dog can you keep without any license.
