The Bully Kutta, nicknamed the Beast from the East,
is a large, powerful dog. They are under the umbrella
term, Guardian, a guard dog. This dog can be best trained
by a professional and someone who can make sure the dog
understands who the leader is. Though they are guard dogs,
they are quite affectionate, and good with people and other
dogs. Hardly any grooming is required.
The average life expectancy is around 9 years, average weight
is around 100+lbs, and the average height is around 30in. Fur
colors can be black, white, brown, tan, or brown/tan with black.
The dog is best suited for a household that will rigorously
train and socialize it. With a responsible owner, this dog can
be an intensely loyal pet. The dog requires a lot of space and
a lot of walks/exercise.
This dog's origin is blurry and has many theories. A popular theory is the dog is a result
of interbreeding of a mastiff-type dog already present in Pakistan or Inida, with Mastiffs,
Bull Terriers, etc, that British soldiers brought with them when Britain conquered the
subcontinent. Another theory, the dog was bred in areas of Sindh, hence the alternative name
Sindh Mastiff. Although the dog was breed to be a guard dog, they are also used in illegal
dog fighting. The American Kennel Club has recognized this type of dog as a "bully" type but
they do not have a seperate page for the Bully Kutta.
This breed is generally healthy but can be prone to developing arthritis, blindness, and bloating.
