Temperament of the Bully Kutta
|
The Bully Kutta has a reputation for being a noble, intelligent dog with a great personality. They can make a delightful companion for a strong, experienced owner. It's important to emphasize the word "experienced" if you're considering this breed of dog. They can be a dangerous breed if not properly controlled and bred. They need a strong, dominant owner. Not an aggressive owner, but a strong-willed owner they can respect. Otherwise, Bullies can be dominant and very territorial. They need to understand what you expect of them, and this aggression will not be tolerated. For a dog whose size, build and deep voice are sufficiently intimidating, they don't need to develop this aggressive tendency. This dog may respond well to training if it's interesting, but may be willful and decide it's had enough if it's boring. The trainer needs experience to vary the exercises and limit the time devoted to each part of the training. With perseverance and a lot of patience, the Bully can become a delightful companion. They will protect you, your family and property, and are devoted creatures. But respect for their size and the breed's aggressive inclination puts the onus on you, the owner, to do everything you can to raise this dog correctly. Do this properly and you'll have a dog that surpasses your greatest wish. |

Maintenance of the Bully Kutta
|
Despite their large size, Bully Kutta are low-maintenance dogs with short, straight coats. They are a healthy breed, free from most congenital health problems. Their coat requires a strong bristle brush to remove loose hairs. Brushing should be carried out once a week or every two weeks. Bathing this big dog can be a chore, but fortunately they tend to keep themselves clean, so a good rub with a damp cloth should suffice most of the time. If your white dog has rolled in the mud, well, that's a different story. If a garden hose, and season permitting, won't cut it, you'll have to roll up your sleeves and give the beast a bath. The use of a mild dog shampoo is preferable, as this breed seems to have a high sensitivity to skin allergies. The Bully Kutta requires a lot of exercise, training and socialization. But from a health point of view, a quick rub down, an ear wipe and a weekly teeth-brushing session should be enough to maintain them. Their nails may need trimming if they don't wear them down naturally. Be gentle when trimming without cutting into the sensitive nail bed. |
