Temperament of the Gull Dong
|
| While the Gull Dong is rare worldwide, it is a very popular breed in Pakistan. They are loyal and devoted to their master, but have a natural distrust of strangers. This, combined with their protective territorial instincts, can make them a formidable dog to confront. They tend to be grumpy and have a dominant nature. A strong owner who can impress his leadership on this dog is needed. The Gull Dong is a dog that needs to be trained and socialized from an early age. Without a strong leader, they can become willful and have a handful to manage. The Gull Dong is intelligent and follows basic training quickly. You need to be firm and consistent in your management. They need plenty of exercise as they are bred to work. A large farm is ideal for this dog, or at least a house with a secure yard. They are not the apartment dog type. The Gull Dong is a formidable protector and will fight to the bitter end to protect those they love. Impressive and imposing, the Gull Dong is affectionate to those they love and call home. |
Needs and activities of the Gull Dong
|
| The Gull Dong is a dog that loves to work. They are best suited as working dogs where they can expend their energy in a positive way. The Gull Dong is well suited to being a guard or protection dog, as they are naturally wary of strangers and very territorial. A good walk every day is a must. This is an ideal time to socialize them and train good social behaviors, but always keep them on a leash as they are aggressive towards other dogs and pets. They make good companions for walkers and runners and love being outdoors. At home, they need a large, secure, fenced yard and are ideal outdoor dogs. Like all dogs, they like to play a bit, but their enormous size and weight combined with their enthusiasm can often cause unintentional injury to children. They are not at all suited to apartments, but excel in the countryside. |
Maintenance of the Gull Dong
|
| Gull Dongs are very easy to care for. Their coat is medium dense and short, so grooming requires a good brushing once a week to remove loose hairs. Start the grooming process early, while he's still a puppy, and familiarize him with handling his paws, ears and teeth. This early education will help later when grooming a 75-kilo dog. They rarely need a bath, their short coats always look neat, but rubbing with a damp cloth is a good idea, especially for white dogs. Like all dogs, their ears can be a trap where debris and parasites can cause infection. Regular checks are therefore essential. Never poke sharp objects into your dog's ear; wipe gently and dry with a soft cloth. Brushing your dog's teeth several times a week will help prevent dental problems, and a nail clipper if necessary will complete the grooming process. |
