Bully Kutta is a Molosser Type dog which is found largely in Pakistan. Bully in its name actually comes from the Punjabi or Hindi/Urdu word bohli—meaning heavily wrinkled, and Kutta means dog. Bully Kutta is also known as the indian or Pakistani Mastiff who are aloof and do not like to tolerate strangers. The Bully Kutta is also sometimes referred to as the Sindh Mastiff. They are typically found today in areas in Pakistan and some rural parts of India. While they are starting to get worldwide attention, it is because of their size and strength that these dogs find themselves in the hands of people who choose to use them for dog fighting. New York Times best-selling author Greg Iles depicted this breed in his 2009 novel The Devil's Punchbowl. The breed has also been used as guard dogs in Pakistan and india.

The Bully kutta originated in and around the desert area of Kutch, the Rajasthan area and Bhawalpur area of Punjab. A part of the Kutch area in Rajasthan was under the Sindh District and so the other name of this breed is Sindh Mastiff.
