History

Kumaon Mastiff (Cypro Kukur, Bulli) is a rare breed and a very ancient livestock guard dog in the Kumaon region of Uttrakhand (Himalayan Range, India). There are about 150-200 Kumaon Mastiffs specimens remaining in the country. The popularity of other breeds like Doberman, Pomeranian, etc., are the reason for their ignorance. These dogs have massive strength and are tireless workers and should be saved.
