The Bully Kutta or Pakistani Mastiff or simply Bully[1] is a Alaunt descendant which has its origins in Pakistan, especially in Sindh and Punjab, where it is the most common guard dog. The word Bully derives from the English word Bull, because of its slight resemblance with a Bulldog, while the word Kutta means dog, in the local languages in Pakistan. Some people mistake this breed for the Alangu Mastiff, commonly known as Indian Mastiff, but Alangu Mastiff is almost extinct, even in South India. The current Bully Kutta. of Pakistani origin, is developed after years of breeding, and have achieved its unique stature, but still needs to be standardized as a breed.[2]
The standard and original Bully kutta breed is white in color with black markings however shades of fawn, black, brown, and harlequin colors are also found, and with many different markings. The cross breeding of Original Bully kutta and Original Pakistani Bullterrier produces a breed known as Gull Dong or a Pakistani Bull Dog. The Bully kutta has made its way into the hearts of dog enthusiasts all over the world. In the past twenty years, a lot of copies have been made in UK, but the original specimens can still be found in Pakistan and many well bred Bully Kuttas have been imported to countries like UK, Serbia, Croatia, China, Malaysia, India, Indonesia and shortly the breed will be introduced in USA.
New York Times best-selling author Greg Iles depicted this breed in his 2009 novel, “The Devil's Punchbowl.”[3]
