There is some people that believe the Pakistani Bully Kutta was developed from the Sage Koochee, old Persian Alaunts, Afghani
Gawi Bulldogs and Indian Mastiffs, others believe it is a result of crossing Great Danes, English Mastiffs and Bulldogs, as
well as other Western breeds.

During the colonnial times, some English Bull Terrier blood was introduced to some strains of the local breeds, this was done
primarily to create new breeds, such as the Gull Terr and the Bully Kutta. Over the years, many other breeds have been created
using both the original Bully Kutta and its descendants. Some of these newer breeds are the Kohati Bully Kutta, Nagi Bully
Kutta, Gull Dang/Bullygullterr and the Pakistani Boarhound. Nowadays, all of these breeds are being incorrectly classified
as one and the same, especially in the West, where the Bully Kutta is slowly becoming popular.

This great breed is still used today by criminal gangs for the ever cruel "sport" of dog fighting, which is
illegal in Pakistan, the majority are pets or used as guard dogs. Although very intelligent, this is an extremely aggressive
breed, said to be virtually untrainable and handled only by the most experienced enthusiasts. However, with proper socialization
and appropriate training, the Bully Kutta can make an excellent companion for responsible and knowledgeable owners.
