TEMPERAMENT:
Pakistani Bull Terriers are often wary of strangers. They are very protective of their master and property. Talented and easily trained.

Socialize this breed from an early age to make them easier to handle when they are grown. They should not be trusted with other non-canine pets.

With adequate training and discipline, these dogs can be used as ideal guard dogs. The Pakistani Bull Terrier is widely popular for its fast speed and accuracy. These dogs are agile, quick and always on their feet. They are excellent personal guard dogs. This breed thrives on firm, consistent leadership. They need very firm training and lots of exercise. Pakistani Bull Terriers must be given a lot of structure, or they may become destructive. Be sure to remain their pack leader 100% of the time, otherwise, they can be extremely aggressive with other dogs.

ORIGIN:
The Pakistani Bull Terriers (Gull Terrs) are cousins with the English Bull Terriers. When the sub-continent was under British rule, the British army brought their pure English Bull Terriers with them. These dogs were crossed with local breeds to produce the Pakistani Bull Terrier (Gull Terr). Not very common in other parts of the world, the Pakistani Bull Terriers are used for bear baiting and dog fighting in Pakistan, however these types of games are declared illegal, so nowadays people mostly use the breed as a guard dog. The Pakistani Bull Terrier (Gull Terr) was one of the breeds used to create the Gull-Dongs (Pakistani Bull Dogs).
