Gaur are the largest of all cattle species, but in some parts of India, they are as common in backyards as white-tailed deer are here.
These animals are sometimes called “Indian bison,” but they are actually more closely related to domestic cattle.
Living with large wild bovines can be a hazard. I think that’s why the aurochs was made extinct in Europe, and the European bison was reduced to just a few relict populations. It’s also why American bison don’t roam like they once did.
I’ve been watching the girls and Willie this evening.
I thought I’d post this series of videos to show you how they much they have grown.
Rhodie has some pipes. LOL!
Rhodie and Cammie are littermates. Cammie has short legs like Willie, and Rhodie is long-legged and very greyhound-like.
Cammie belongs to my cousin who is studying in Denmark this summer.
Cammie is very well-behaved. She is Miss Affectionate Appeasement.
Rhodie, on the other hand, is a wild animal.

Rhodie and Cammie’s dad is a wire-haired JRT. Cammie is a smooth, while rhodie is very lightly broken-coated.
However, Spike, their half-brother, is wire-haired just like their dad. He lives with my aunt’s sister’s family.
The breeder who bred Cammie, Rhodie, Willie, and Spike has selected his dogs to be good with other dogs and to be of a very gentle disposition.
They also very widely in appearance, for he includes short-legged and long-legged dogs in his program, as well as wire, smooth, and broken-coated dogs.
