The Bully Dog (also known as Indian Mastiff or Pakistani Mastiff){{efn-ua|This breed is known by several other names, including the Alangu Mastiff, Bully Kutta, Bohli Kutta, Indian Bully, and Pakistani Bully.[11][2][1]}} is a breed of large-sized working dog that originated in the Indian subcontinent, dating back to 16th century.[2][3][4] The Bully Kutta is a working dog used for hunting and guarding. The dog is breed is popular in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, including Haryana and Delhi.[2]

Name and description

Bully Kutta literally translates to heavily wrinkled dog. The word Bully comes from the root word of the Hindi-Urdu and Punjabi languages Bohli which means heavily wrinkled and Kutta means dog.[4][5] Bully Kuttas have an average weight of 78 kg (12st 5lbs) and height of 2.7ft (78.74 cm).[6]

The Bully Kutta originated in the Indian subcontinent, either in the Sind region or the Thanjavur and Tiruchi districts of Madras in undivided India.[4][2][1] In Thanjavur, the Bully Kutta was a favorite pet of ruling families.[7] The Mughal emperor Akbar owned a Bully dog, which he used for hunting.[8]

The Second International Dog Show at Islington Agricultural Hall, held on 28 May 1864 in London, showcased the Indian Mastiff among several other dog breeds.[9] The previous year, Edward, the Prince of Wales, and Princess Alexandra, entered an Indian mastiff in the same show, along with a Newfoundland, Russian retriever and two borzois.[10][11] In 1884, Littell's Living Age said that historically, this dog was employed by kings "in the chase of wild beasts".[12]

Temperament

Bully Kuttas have been described as intelligent, alert, responsive, energetic and aggressive. A well known veterinary Dr. LN Gupta from Agra, India says that bully dogs are a dominating canine and only be handled by well-experienced owners.[13]

The American Humane Association has stated that "on tests conducted in 2009 by the American Temperament Test Society, bullies scored better than several breeds that are rarely associated with aggression, including beagles and collies."[14]

In 2016, Daily Mail wrote an article about a Kutta that was “scared of squeaky toys, cars, the dark and even rain.”[6]

In 2017, a Beagle dog was mutilated to death by a Bully Kutta and a Rhodesian Ridgeback in Eccles, Greater Manchester.[15]

Use as a fighting dog

Bully Kuttas have been illegally used for dog fighting in Pakistan and India, including areas such as Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida.[14][16] In June 2018, police in Indian Punjab filed First Information Report (FIR) for the first time against organizers of a dog fight.[17] According to a specialist at Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, “imported animals are being crossbred to be more menacing”.[18]

They have been part of many competitions in India.[19][20] According to Times of India, it has importance among youth of having a macho image.[21]
