Near Thulidah located in Musikot Municipality-7, there is a movement of sheep in the middle of the dense forest. And there are also shepherds. The sheep stay outside day and night, while the shepherd stays in the temporary tent of Tripal. The keeper of all these, Bhote Kukur.

The sheep shepherds of Puthauttarganga Rural Municipality-11 Taksera of Rukum East, who came to Hocha Hills last December to escape the winter cold, are now planning to return. When a stranger approaches the cowshed, the entire run forest echoes with the dog's "how...how...". And that new person can't dare to approach. The ravenous dog will not let you go to the barn unless called by the shepherd from outside. 

Shepherd Veerman Budha said that Bhote Kukur is the protector of hundreds of sheep along with them. We live in a shed. Our wealth is the sheep. And in the house there is some food and drink and clothes and clothes. The first responsibility of its maintenance is the dog's, he said, it knows who is its own and who is a stranger. And behaves accordingly . After we welcome someone in the barn and sleep with them, it will recognize and behave.' 

Three families have come to graze the sheep. They have two to six dogs in one house. They have 10 children . Veerman says that some of the chicks are reared and some are sold. He says that the price of a dog is 5 to 10 thousand for a small one and 25 to 40 thousand for a big one.

Another herdsman, Krishna Bahadur Magar, said that male dogs act as protectors rather than male dogs. "The male is stronger than the female". That's why we have kept a cockerel as a watchdog,' he said.

A dog with the power to kill a tiger is a cowherd in the barn during the day, so it rests and becomes fully active at night . Krishna Bahadur adds, "We are also in the barn during the day, so he rests." But at night it doesn't even let a leaf fall . Remains fully awake. And the four directions look carefully.' 

Shepherds say that they feed it twice in the evening and in the morning. "We feed it meat, lamb and sheep's milk," says Veerman, "It also eats food very carefully and work is also very important to it." The cost of a person and a dog is almost the same.' 

According to the shepherd, after being pregnant for three months, a hungry dog ​​will have a baby in two years. And, its lifespan is up to 40 years . Especially if this breed of dog, which adapts itself to the high mountains and mountains, is kept in cages at a young age, it can survive there. 

But Mankumari Budha says that even though Bhote belongs to the caste, the work he does depends on the environment. Here, our dogs are given a lot of training from a young age to run for hunting. Being angry after seeing a new person, animal or thing . It is made more of an annoyance than a love . That's why it is aggressive," she said, "even if it is an animal, it learns the same way it was taught. So we make it like a human being . And he understands what we say and behaves accordingly.'
