MBDP will systematically collect data from host families, partner NGOs and independent research to determine the effectiveness of Bankhar dogs in preventing livestock predation. Data collected will aid research in:

• Determining Bankhar effectiveness as predator deterrent
• Perfecting training for families
• Determining the temperament or action of the dogs most effective as a predator deterrent
• Health, care and longevity data for the dogs
• DNA aspects of the Bankhar related to the genetic concerns of modern dog breeds
• Peripheral ecological impact of the dogs
• Developing more strict timing methods for livestock bonding
