WARNING!
The Bully Kutta are first and foremost used as a fighting dog in Pakistan, and it would be difficult to properly tell about and show the
true dog without showing some pictures from the legally arranged dogfights of Pakistan. If you are disturbed by watching pictures of
dogfights, please leave the pages of the Gull Terr.
Notice that Molosserworld do no support the illegal "sport" of dogfighting in no form or way, even not in countries where it is legal.
A very old First Specimen Picture of Indian Bull Terr.
In the second half of the British Colonial Era the Indian people (both Hindu and Muslims) in the now Pakistan area
developed a taste (rediscovered though in a big way) for dog fights and the Brites could not help but join them, along
with their Bull Terriers. Both Bully Kutta and
Gull Terr are used for dog fighting and bear fighting.
With time the need of a smaller dog to fight both dogs and bears came to attention of both the locales
and as well as to many British people who took part in the dogfights. I did not see much mention of Hinks Bull Terrier
but it was Bull terrier blood that was infused to create the Bull Terr, which other wise is popular in Pakistan as Gull Terr.
This breed started off in India with a specimen, which is akin to those Irish Old Family Reds, which was developed in
Ireland during the middle of 19th century. Like them they had a red nose, and reddish coats and had exceptional fighting
abilities.

The Indian Bull Terrier, over the period of time, got bred along with other available Bully Kutta varieties in Pakistan and became
today’s Gull Terr or Bull Terr. However the Indian version still retains that old specimen and continues to be called the
Indian Bull Terrier.
The Gull Terr is considered excellent in fighting bears and are often used in a team to fight against a huge bear.
The Bull Terr’s fighting capability and attitude might have impressed the Indians a lot.
Somewhere during 80 years before from now (2002) the profuse crossing of the Bull Terriers, Bull Terr and
Bully Kutta has created a devastating effect on a gene pool of Bull Terr and Bully Kutta.

But there are few dedicated breeders who still breed Gull Terr to the true form both in Pakistan and even in India in
the Province of Punjab and Haryana. In the Indian Punjab it is called Bull Terr.
The Indian Bull Terrier remains to be bred along the lines of the Irish Red Family but slightly bigger than them in size.
However the number of specimen is extremely low. Few people in and around Punjab and Delhi breed them and use them
only as guard dogs.
