Gull Dong

The Gull Dong was developed in Pakistan by crossing the purest and highest quality Gull Terriers (Pakistani Bull Terrier) and the Pakistani Bully Kutta (Pakistani Mastiffs). It is a rare and obscure breed, although they are popular in Pakistan and Northern India. The breed is believed to have begun in British Colonial India during the 1900's in the area that eventually became Pakistan in 1947. The breed does not have any official recognition nor records that document the development. Bred to be working dogs, the Gull Dong has met that requirement admirably. They have been used as guard dogs, fighting dogs, and bear hunters. Dog fighting is illegal in many parts of the world including Pakistan, but the practice is still wide-spread in their homeland. The Gull Dong makes a formidable opponent both in the ring and outside of it. This breed resembles the original English Bull Terrier, which was brought to the region by the British. During this time breeders experimented with crossing the Bulldog with Terriers, and finally achieved their goal of a feisty and aggressive dog in the English Bull Terrier. These traits were passed onto the Gull Dong through the parent breeds the Gull Terr and the Bully Kutta who are believed to have been achieved with the help of the English Bull Terrier. Debate still rages over the Gull Dong's origins, but the fact remains this dog is alive and well, especially in Pakistan, and development continues.
