hey! if they confront hogs physically, they should be having enough power to subdue wolves too! when they work in packs that is.. from what i heard, 5 pariahs killed a leopard in tirunelveli.. i guess 3 or 4 dogs died and one survived.. that means they are tough dogs! i think pandikonnas should be tougher as they are often given very challenging jobs and missions to carry out! and they'll be on duty 24 x 7.. either as hunting dog s or guard dogs or LGDs! and i think villagers test each n every puppy very harshly and cull the weak ones ,, (i heard it from someone.. please correct me if i am wrong) as i have seen, these type of dogs are extremely powerful and foolhardy if they are raised by humans at homes! but i am impressed by their versatility!
