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

Owner questions the things everyone asks
How often should I feed my Gull Dong, and at what times?
Feed your adult Gull Dong at least two meals a day, and puppies three to four smaller meals. Their stomachs empty within a few hours, so regular mealtimes help avoid hunger signals. For exact amounts, check the food label and ask your vet.3
What should a Gull Dong eat, and which foods are dangerous?
Feed a high-quality dog food suitable for an active, working breed. Dangerous foods include chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, xylitol, and macadamia nuts. Never give alcohol, yeast dough, or raw bones.4
How often should I bathe a Gull Dong?
Furry Diary's starting plan suggests a bath every 56 days, but you can bathe more often if your dog is outdoors a lot or has skin issues. At least once every three months is fine for this short-coated breed.5 Furry Diary plan
How often does a Gull Dong need brushing?
Brush your Gull Dong weekly to keep its short, dense coat healthy and reduce shedding. Furry Diary's plan recommends brushing every 7 days.15 Furry Diary plan
How do I trim a Gull Dong's nails, and how often?
Trim nails every 28 days, or sooner if you hear clicking on the floor. Cut a little at a time, stopping before the quick (the pink part). If unsure, ask your vet or a groomer for guidance.5 Furry Diary plan
How much exercise does a Gull Dong need?
This energetic working breed needs daily exercise and a job to do, such as guarding or hunting. Furry Diary's plan includes daily walks and play. Without enough activity, they may become bored or restless.1 Furry Diary plan
How do I look after a Gull Dong's teeth and ears?
Brush teeth two to three times a week with dog-safe toothpaste; daily is ideal. Check ears weekly for moisture or dirt, especially since floppy ears can trap moisture, and dry them gently. Never push anything into the ear canal.5 Furry Diary plan
How long does a Gull Dong live?
Lifespan varies by individual, but senior years usually start around age 7. For a more specific estimate, ask your vet or a good breeder. Furry Diary plan
Is a Gull Dong good with children and other pets?
As a guarding and hunting breed, temperament varies. Early socialization and training are key. Always supervise interactions with children and other pets, and consult a good breeder for guidance.
Can a Gull Dong be left alone?
This breed needs companionship and a job, so leaving them alone for long periods may cause boredom or anxiety. Provide mental stimulation and exercise, and ask your vet or a trainer for advice on alone time.
