The Kaikadi is a breed of sighthound from India.[1][2][3] The Kaikadi are kept by the Kaikadi people, a nomadic tribe in Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat.[1][2] They are a particularly small and thin breed of sighthound standing between 38 and 46 centimetres (15 and 18 in) and weighing around 20 kilograms (44 lb).[1][2] They have long, thin legs and powerful thighs and hock joints, a long tapered tail, a long, thin head with prominent eyes, and erect ears.[1][2] Their short coat comes in a variety of colours, but white, tan and black are predominant.[2]
The Kaikadi are known for their exceptional speed. They usually hunt in packs for a variety of small game, particularly monkeys, rats, monitor lizards, mongoose and squirrels.[1][2] The breed is suspicious of strangers, and at night they work as watchdogs for their masters.[2]
