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 have been used for bear baiting and dog fighting in Pakistan, however these types of games are 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).
