My name is Ernie!

Ernie is not a mixed breed pup but a pure IN (Indian Native) dog also known as Pariah Dog or Desi Dog who was rescued from the streets of India. Please scroll at the bottom to get more information on this breed.

Ernie is an independent, rambunctious pup with a lot of character!
He is a sweet and submissive pup who loves belly rubs. He is also a smart pup who is crate and leash trained. Ernie is calm and quick to learn what you want him to do. He is doing extremely well with learning basic commands and following potty training routines. He is leash trained and loves going on long walks. Offleash, he is learning to respond to his name. Ernie is a fast eater, yet he patiently waits for his brother to finish before exploring his bowl. He is alert and hence a good watch dog who will bark if he sees something unsual. He appears shy/hesistant initially so should be given time to get to know new people and dogs.

Ernie is a handsome, healthy, intelligent pup who is around 16 weeks old. He is current on all the vaccinations (have all three rounds of puppy vaccinations including Bordetella and Rabies), have been treated for flea and ticks, and have been dewormed several times. He also has a blood and stool test report. Eric is microchiped and has an International Health Certificate.

While in India Eric and his brother Ernie were being fostered together in home with several dogs and cats and even a bird so they do great around all animals they know. They are crate trained and sleep in their crate together cuddled up at nights without any accidents. House breaking them will be easy as they are learning to control their bladder and prefer to go outside if given a chance or only on the training pads/newspapers while inside the house. The pups are terrific eaters and eat dog food as well as chicken, natural yoghurt, carrots, celery, and fruits. They go for walks every morning and evening in a nearby park, and take delight in playtime in the yard where they roughhouse, chew on squeaky toys and tennis balls.

Ernie’s rescue story-
Ernie and his siblings Eric and Nimbu were found on a New Delhi street in dire conditions after their mother was killed by a car. The pups were emaciated, covered with fleas, and surrounded in rubbish. Several local residents coordinated a quick rescue, and they sadly discovered one dead pup. Ernie, Eric, and brother Nimbu were rushed to the veterinarian, treated with IV fluids and antibiotics, and provided care for hypothermia and severe diarrhea.
Under the loving care of their foster family the pups are growing into beautiful, healthy dogs with sweet temperament.

Ernie is a sweet and smart pup who would be a great companion for any family looking for a active dog.
Ernie is being fostered in Milltown NJ and available for immediate adoption.

Information on the Indian Native Dog breed:
IN (Indian Native), Desi (Local) or Pariah Dog is a pure, ancient, indigenous dog of India that abounds the Indian streets. A long time ago, thousands of years before the arrival of modern pure breeds, a race of dogs much like this one inhabited the Indian subcontinent. These were the very first domesticated dogs and Man's earliest animal companions. It has evolved entirely through natural selection without human intervention of any kind resulting into a very hardy, extremely intelligent, alert and independent thinking dog.

This is a natural breed of dog that is pure in a true sense and how nature intended a dog to be; hence they are way superior to the artificially developed man made breeds that we call pure breeds today. Its origin dates back 12,000 to 15,000 years – older than any other breed. This is a natural primitive breed which is a direct descendant of the early domesticated dogs. These dogs are found to be genetically healthy with no known genetic diseases and a very strong immune system. They are perfectly adapted for survival; a free-roaming life on the street for these dogs is always difficult and often hostile and hence requires high order of intelligence, quick and independent thinking to survive. On the streets it is the survival of the fittest, usually out of a litter some will get run over by cars while others will succumb to hunger and malnutrition. Only the most hardiest and intelligent ones will survive to produce off springs. When this survivor is adopted as a Pet, their owners are often awe struck with their beauty, grace, intelligence, loyalty and hardiness.

They are highly adaptable, quick learners and versatile and are known to be even smarter and definitely calmer than the intelligent Border Collies. They are very agile and excel at many dog sports such as agility and also make great jogging/running companions and can be even faster than Grey Hounds. While active outdoors, they are usually very calm and quiet indoors. They have tremendous stamina and hence need an active family who will take them for a daily brisk walks or a run.
IN Dogs are sensitive by nature and do not respond well to harsh training methods and hence need an even tempered, gentle but firm and loving owner who knows how to calmly and consistently communicate the rules of the house.
These dogs love children and are known to have a calm and gentle demeanor around them. They bond strongly with their people and make an excellent family pet that is very loving, loyal and intelligent. These dogs do not bark much but are always alert; they are friendly yet wary of strangers and make good watch dogs.

IN Dogs are low maintenance dog as they are generally very healthy and like to stay clean; they hardly shed and have virtually no doggy odor. Their smooth, fine short hair coat is easy to groom. They have an all-weather coat that allows them to easily adapt to different weather conditions.
A well-looked after pet IN dog will rarely need to see a vet and may live a healthy life of up to the age of 12 – 16 years.
This is a medium size dog with an average height of 20-25 inches (51-64 cms) at the shoulder and generally weigh about 28-55 pounds (12 – 22 kgs).
They are found in all colors and variation with erect or floppy ears; however a typical IN Dog usually will have erect ears, a wedge-shaped head and a tail that curls over its back. Most IN Dogs are similar in appearance to other prehistoric dogs like the Australian Dingos.

We have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and found homes for well over 180 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
