The Vanjari Hound (Malayalam: വഞ്ചാരി ഹൗണ്ട്) is a breed of dog found in India. It is a greyhound-type dog used by the nomadic Vanjari of Maharashtra, primarily as a sighthound in hunting. However, it has also been used as a guard dog and a herding dog. The breed is currently at risk from interbreeding with other dog breeds.
