Bullie Kutta (or Pakistani Mastiff) is a breed of dog that is native to India and Pakistan. This type of four-legged animal has a large number of features that distinguish it from other counterparts. For example, bully kutta is a very large dog in size. In addition, pronounced aggression towards other dogs is manifested in the nature of the Pakistani mastiff. We will talk more in our material, what other features this breed of dog has, what is the history of the appearance and development of the species, what advantages and disadvantages of the breed are distinguished by veterinarians and experienced breeders.

The history of the origin and development of the Pakistani mastiff is quite interesting and ambiguous. The thing is that with respect to this breed of dogs there are no documentary historical sources, so the theory of the emergence of an animal for the most part rests on all sorts of assumptions and conjectures. So, if you believe the research, then For the first time, the bull kutta breed dogs appeared in ancient times in Persian times. At this time they were used for security purposes, and were also indispensable helpers during the war periods. In 500 years BC, this species of four-legged animals appeared on the European continent. This was due to the fact that during the fighting the army of Xerxes came to the territory of Greece in the company of these animals.

However, to date, Pakistani mastiffs do not exist on Earth in their original form. The thing is that the breed has passed a certain selection. Thus, the British Empire, which conquered India and considered it its colony, as one of the tasks for scientists involved in the study and selection of animals, set the task of improving the breed Bully Kutta. In this way, This dog was crossed with other breeds, in particular - with the English Bull Terrier, with the English Mastiff and with several hunting varieties of dogs.. As a result of this work, the Pakistani mastiff in its modern sense was born.

Generally speaking, the name of the breed Bullie Kutta is translated from Hindi into Russian as “very wrinkled dog”. This is due to the anatomical structure of the animal - the skin around the mouth and neck is not tightly pressed to the body, but hangs down and forms a kind of folds. In ancient times, the animal was used for protection and hunting. Under the power of the dog of this breed was hunting even for large wild animals, for example, a tiger or a bear. It must be said that today this species is not widely distributed on a global scale. The main habitat of the animal is still India and Pakistan.

Dogs belonging to the Pakistani breed, as already mentioned above, have some features that are not inherent in other similar animals. To date information about this aboriginal breed is under studytherefore, there are no clearly defined and defined internationally accepted standards of appearance and physiological characteristics of the breed.Nevertheless, researchers and veterinarians give a certain list of characteristics, the presence of which in a particular individual suggests that the animal belongs to the breed Bulli Kutta described in this material.

So, with regard to the external description of the animal, it is first of all important to say that it is rather large in size, has a massive build, strong bones and a broad chest. The height of the animal at the withers, as well as the weight of the dog, is more dependent on the sex of the particular individual. For example, it is believed that the height of the male varies from 70 to 90 centimeters, and its weight can be from 64 to 95 kilograms. Indicators related to females are significantly lower. Thus, the total mass of their body does not exceed 77 kilograms, and the maximum growth rate is 71 centimeters.

Unusual and non-standard are the anatomical indicators characterizing the breed. The head of the Pakistani mastiff is quite large. The ears are not structured - they hang down along the head and are average in size. Due to the fact that the animal often participates in different types of battles, the ears are usually stopped (and quite shortly). The lips have a saggy shape, and the jaw is very strong and powerful, the bite is scissor-like. The eyes are rather small in size. The nose is black and has pronounced open nostrils.

The torso of the dog is particularly strong, but this does not affect the dog’s grace. The back of the mastiff is quite long and can withstand large and intense loads. The muscular structure of the limbs deserves special attention. The tail of the dog is quite long.

Color bully kutta can be different. In nature, there are animals painted in brown, black and red shades. However, the most popular and common color is white. With regard to the structure of hair, it should be noted that the Pakistani mastiffs are short-haired animals. And on the tactile sensations wool is quite smooth.

The nature and typical behavioral patterns are those characteristics of the breed that you should pay attention to first. This is especially true in relation to the animal breed Bully Kutta. Generally speaking, the Pakistani mastiff is a fairly balanced animal. However, such a character trait of a dog can manifest itself only with proper education and training. As well as the nature of the animal is characterized by such features as high intellectual and mental abilities, a tendency to dominant behavior.

The animal is unwilling to experience fear. It is quite aggressive and very jealous of its territory and owner. Based on this, care and restraint must be exercised in handling the mastiff. If the dog feels the danger or manifestations of aggression - then it will go on the attack. Young individuals are especially active and energetic, they also possess tremendous strength.

Despite the fact that the animal is naturally quite dangerous, there are more positive features and characteristics that are also characteristic of this breed. So, the advantages of the Pakistani mastiff include the following characteristics:

• fearlessness;
• dedication in relation to one owner;
• fairly stable psyche;
• the ability to perform security and protective functions.

Of course, this breed, like all others, is endowed with certain disadvantages, namely:

• propensity for domination and independence;
• the impossibility of interaction with children;
• large sizes that make it difficult to maintain.

To begin with, it should be said that the main difficulty is not a question of choosing a particular puppy, but a question of finding a point of sale. The thing is that a purebred animal can only be found in India and Pakistan. In other countries in free sale you will not find bully kutta in any zoological store and in one zoological market. If you nevertheless decided to acquire a representative of the Pakistani breed and go after him to a distant country, then an experienced dog specialist should make you a company, because without his help it will be quite difficult for you to choose the right dog yourself. Such difficulties are related to the fact that the Pakistani mastiff is often crossed with other breeds, so a huge number of dogs can be found on the zoological market, which are mixed, and not purebred, representatives of the breed. When choosing and purchasing, be sure to check the documents, and also be guided by the informal breed standards described above. The price of a puppy of breed Bullie Kutta can vary from 500 to 1500 dollars.

To begin with, it should be said that the animal can be kept only in open space. Living in an apartment in the urban environment is contraindicated for him. Be sure that the animal has its own place. In order to equip the lounger for the Pakistani mastiff, you can use the old mattress. As for the immediate care measures, you should not forget about the need to comb the animal's hair once a week. More frequent combing is not recommended, as the dog's coat is rather short.

Bathe the dog is not accepted. Washings and wiping with a wet towel are used as water procedures. It is especially important to clean the chest area and the front part. Due to the physiological characteristics of the representatives of the breed in need of constant physical exertion. Therefore, it is often necessary to walk with him for a long time, and it is also recommended to perform various outdoor games. Do not forget about the preventive examinations at the veterinarian, which should be made at least once a month.

The food of the Pakistani mastiff is rather specific. It is in connection with such a requirement that not every person can allow himself to be kept an animal. Not only does the dog need only high-quality and fresh food, but it should also be quite a lot, because the size of the animal is quite impressive. So, the diet of bully kutta should consist of meat, fish, dairy products and eggs. The ideal option is to have 1 meal per day. However, in real life such indicators can be quite difficult to achieve. That is why 2 meals per day are considered a compromise option (in the morning and in the evening after walking). Do not forget that the dog must be provided with free access to clean drinking water.

In general, the diet of the Pakistani mastiff, like the diet of any other animal should be saturated not only with proteins, fats and carbohydrates in sufficient quantities, but also with additional chemical compounds: vitamins and minerals that will maintain the health of the animal and allow it to actively develop. The diet should be comprehensive and balanced. If you do not adhere to this rule, the dog may get sick.

Raising and training a Pakistani mastiff is a must. The fact is that the animal is prone to independent behavior and likes to dominate. If from the very first days of life the dog is not shown that the main owner is in the house, and not her, then the occurrence of aggressive conflicts is not excluded: the dog may bite you and your household. The dog is fairly well trained, but you should start with the most simple commands, gradually moving to more difficult tricks.

Thus, we are convinced that Pakistani mastiff is a dog that has rather ambiguous features (both in appearance and in character). It is quite dangerous and its content in the conditions of the apartment is not recommended. In addition, it requires education and training, and whenever possible it should be professional.
