==Origin==<br />
The Gull Dong is the result from when a [[Gull Terrier]] is crossed with a [[Bully Kutta]]. These started to be crossed in [[British Raj|colonial India]] and the consequent Gull Dong is celebrated in India and Pakistan for its "speed and tenacity".<br />
<br />
During the era of the [[British Raj]] in India, [[Bull Terrier]]s were introduced to the northwestern Indian subcontinent, which now includes the modern republics of India and Pakistan. In British India, the Bull Terrier breed soared in popularity,<ref name="CopemanRumble1983">{{cite book |last1=Copeman |first1=George Henry |last2=Rumble |first2=Tony |title=Capital as an Incentive |date=1983 |publisher=Jupiter Books |isbn=9780881689907 |page=115 |language=en|quote=The breed's popularity spread to India and Africa and to other countries of the Commonwealth, from whence it travelled to the United States and elsewhere.}}</ref> with the Bull Terrier Club of India being established in [[Calcutta]]. Bull Terriers were crossed with local breeds to develop the Gull Terrier, often called the Indian Bull Terrier and also now the Pakistani Bull Terrier. The Gull Terrier is a medium-sized dog with short, smooth fur which resembles that of the [[Staffordshire Bull Terrier]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_gx5CgAAQBAJ&q=gull+terr&pg=PA109|title=Bear Necessities: Rescue, Rehabilitation, Sanctuary, and Advocacy|first=Lisa|last=Kemmerer|date=27 August 2015|publisher=[[Brill Publishers|BRILL]]|access-date=17 October 2018|via=Google Books|isbn=9789004293090}}</ref><br />
