Karat the Bully Kutta at 4 years old—"This is a purebred Pakistani Bully Kutta

There are various types of Bully Kutta from region to region. Some of the well-known types are:

1. Ancient Type Bully Kutta
2. Aseel Bully Kutta
3. Mastiff Type Bully Kutta
4. Nagi Bully Kutta
5. Modern Bully Kutta

The skin of the Pakistani Bully Kutta (Pakistani Mastiff) is loose and thin but tough. This is a distinctive characteristic of the breed. The skin around the lower jaw and neck is loose. They have a deep brisket. One of the most important characteristics is the very muscular, thick bones. They have broad, wide jaws. The back is long with the tail tapering to a fine point. Their gait resembles that of a lion. The Pakistani Bully Kutta has a short, smooth coat that is usually white in color, however fawn, black and harlequin colors are also found.

The Pakistani Bully Kutta (Pakistani Mastiff) is a powerful Mastiff. They are also known as the "Beast From The East." They are a very intelligent and noble breed. This is an extremely dominant dog and is only recommended for experienced dog owners. They can be very difficult to handle if placed with the wrong owner. Pakistani Bully Kuttas are very trainable. They are loyal and protective of their master and property. With proper exercise, leadership,socialization and training, the Pakistani Bully Kutta can make an amenable companion for responsible and knowledgeable owners. Well raised Bully Kuttas are good with kids, very loving and playful. In their homeland they are mostly used for protection and guarding purposes, but are sometimes unfortunately used for dog fighting, and raised to be aggressive toward other dogs, aloof, not tolerating strangers. This Mastiff will not listen if it senses that it is stronger minded than its owner. Owners need to possess a natural air of authority to their demeanor. The objective in training this dog is to achieve pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in its pack. When wehumans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader; lines are clearly defined and rules are set. Because a dog communicates his displeasure with growling and eventually biting, all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. The humans must be the ones making the decisions, not the dogs. That is the only way your relationship with your dog can be a complete success. When owners make it absolutely clear they are alpha over the dog in a calm, but very firm manner, and the dog is well exercised, trained and socialized they can be very good family companions.

Height: 32 - 40 inches (81 - 101 cm) (slightly less for females)
Weight: 150 - 170 pounds (68 - 77 kg) Some dogs can be over 200 pounds. One dog is known to have grown to 230 pounds.

There are many theories about the origin of this breed. According to the most logical theory there was already a Mastiff breed present in sub-continent of Indo-Pakistan which was used for hunting, guarding and many other purposes. When Britain conquered the sub-continent of Indo-Pakistan, the British soldiers brought their Mastiff type dogs, Bull Terriers and other breeds along with them. These dogs were crossed with the local breed. And that’s why there are different types of Bully Kuttas (Pakistani Mastiffs). There is a theory that this breed was originated in the desert areas of Sindh. That's why it is also called a "Sindh Mastiff." They are a Molosser type dog from Pakistan and are largely found in that region. The word "Bully" comes from the root word of Punjabi (a language spoken by inhabitants of the historical Province of Punjab of Pakistan) "Bohli" which is pronounced as "Boo-Lee" means "heavily wrinkled." And Kutta is a word of Punjabi or Urdu language which means "dog." Thus, Bully Kutta means "heavily wrinkled dog."

Bully Kutta is a descendant of the extinct breed Alaunt that originated in Sindh (desert area of Kutch), Rajasthan and South Punjab (Bhawalpur) regions of modern-day Pakistan.

The earliest glimpse of this breed comes from an old painting of Mughal Era where Mughal Emperor Akbar is hunting with Bully Kutta type dog (Sindhi Mastiff) along with cheetahs on a hunting expeditions.

There are accounts of Bully Kutta dog fighting in Punjab during the reign of Maha Rajah Ranjit Singh, the first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire.]] However the appearance of modern day bully Kutta may happen been achieved by cross breeding with other breeds as theories suggest that, during the British invasion, the British soldiers brought English mastiff dogs and English Bull terriors and staffordshire bull terrier with them to India. These dogs later bred with the regional Sindhi mastiff breeds [1].

Bully Kuttas are now enjoying a healthy increase in popularity, either as a working/protector dog or as a family pet. All over the world, they are used variously as "hog dogs" (catching escaped pigs or hunting razorbacks)

They are ancient and only Pakistan breed dogs. They should be named a Pakistani Shepard like German Shepard. Vicious, huge, yet beautiful breed. Anything outside household which they are not familiar with is instantly recognized as a threat. Very loyal. They are not your average dog that you will have as a pet to shampoo and manicure and pedicure, they are pure aggression.

Not really Pakistani Mastiff i(that's what it's called Internationally) isn't the only indigenous Pakistani dog breed..

The Bully Kuttas on Kashmir side are bigger, due to having more Gaddi Kutta influence, the latter is another local LGD type. This results in thicker skin and thicker coats (a bit more fur). Due to the LGD influence these dogs have bigger heads and sometimes larger teeth and are able to make more damage than "normal" Bully Kuttas. The usual Bully Kutta has indeed a "houndish" head shape and has more the phenotype like Mosquiller decribes it and without any doubt they have sighthound influence.

This legendary Pakistani dog (although we have to say that the Pakistani dogs are the better bred fighters) is thought by some of its fanciers to have remained pure and unchanged since ancient times, while others question its true origin and background. Although there is some evidence that the Pakistani Bully Kutta was developed from the Sage Koochee and there are lines with Gaddi influence another native LGD type, old Persian Alaunts, Afghani Gawi Bulldogs, Indian Mastiffs, Assyrian Mastiffs and dogs introduced by Alexander the Great, who in opposite to many peoples knowledge also brought dogs to the Indian sub-continent (although most people only know the story that he brought TM-like dogs back to his country, but he died on his way back) and many other types that people bring into play, quite a few authorities believe it is a result of crossing local hunting dogs, especially sighthounds with German Mastiffs, German Pointers, English Mastiffs and Bulldog types, as well as other western breeds brought to the region by the British soldiers in the 1700's.
It is a know fact, that the same type of English Bull Terriers that have been brought to Argentina, have been brought to India too and Pakistan used to be an Indian province.

Sindh Mastiff

Extremely rare even in India, the ancient Sindh Mastiff is more commonly found in Pakistan, where it is used as a fighting dog. The Sindh Mastiff was originally a large game hunting dog kept by Indian Royalty, but was eventually abandoned in favour of cheetahs, which proved to be superiour and far more entertaining hunters.

It should be noted that there is also a separate variety known as the Pakistani Sindh Mastiff, which was developed by crossing the Indian Sindh Dogge with the Bully Kutta. Another breed confused with the Sindh Mastiff is the hunting breed known as the South-Indian Mastiff, sometimes referred to as the Sindh Hound or the Alangu Mastiff, achieved by crossing the Sindh Mastiff with the Alangu Hound.

Reduced to guarding and fighting duties, the Indian Sindh Mastiff was reportedly crossed with other protection breeds, most notably the Bull Terr and Kumaon Mastiffs, resulting in the change of appearance and sharpening of the temperament. This fighting variant has reportedly also received some Pakistani Bully Kutta blood, creating a sub-type known as the Indian Bully or Indian Bully Kutta, which is still different than the taller Pakistani Sindh Mastiff.

In recent years, it has been estimated that there are more Indian Bully Kuttas than original Sindh Mastiffs in India. However, the pure Indian Sindh Mastiff is still a respected and valued breed by its fanciers. This powerful mastiff is intelligent and alert, but is also a very aggressive and stubborn Molosser, best suited for experienced owners. Muscular, strongly boned and agile, the Indian Bully is an impressive working dog.

The flat coat is very short and usually solid brown, red or brindle, but most of today's fighting specimens are bicoloured.

Average height is around 29 inches.

Were these Cheetahs or Leopards ...i doubt that cheetahs were used to hunt . As to my knowledge there are no cheetahs in sub-continent or for that matter anywhere in the world except Africa

but was eventually abandoned in favour of cheetahs, which proved to be superiour and far more entertaining hunters.
