Bully Kutta
Bully Kutta History
Theories suggest that, during the British invasion, the British troops brought to India with his Mastiff dogs in the 1700s. This breed was introduced into Greece by Xerxes the First when he marched towards this country 486-465 B.C. The origin of the Alangu Mastiff can be traced back to Rajasthan, the Bhawalpur area of Punjab, and the desert area of Kutch.
The actual origins of the Bully Kutta are pretty ambiguous. They also have extensive disputes about the country of breed, with some claiming it to be India, while Pakistan. This breed was primarily used for hunting large games such as bears and wild boars during the Mughal Empire. Some experts believe that these dogs were originally domesticated between 12,000 and 25,000 years ago.
Pakistani Bully Kutta
The Central Asian Mastiff has influenced the Bully Kutta strain present in northern Pakistan. It has been used mainly as a guard dog, and a home guard, also referred to as the Indian Alangu Mastiff. These dogs are known as the Indian Alangu Mastiff because they hail from southern India, specifically from Tiruchi and Thanjavur districts.
Bully Kutta was further developed from the local Indian Mastiffs during the British Colonial rule in India and was used primarily for sporting purposes. The Bully Kutta was dubbed as the Beast from the East as the breed has gained the reputation for being extremely aggressive. The breed is readily available in Pakistan, however rare in India as in the rest part of the world.
