A powerful, athletic dog with a short, close coat, falling between its Gull Terrier and Bully Kutta parents in build.1

Colourswhitewhite with darker markings on face or body1

Daily activity how busy a day looks

An energetic working type used for guarding and hunting, so it needs daily exercise and a job to do.1

Grooming and care the hands-on bits

The short coat needs little more than an occasional brush.1

The story where it all began

Bull terriers arrived in north-west India under British rule and were crossed with local dogs to make the Gull Terrier. Pairing the Gull Terrier with the larger Bully Kutta produced the Gull Dong, a working dog kept for guarding and hunting (and historically for blood sports).12
