- My name is Raleigh Dickson.
I am the caretaker and trainer
for the dogs that are owned by Halal Pakistani mastiffs.
The owner of the dogs is Brenda Evans.
And this breach history dates back to 1500s, okay.
They were used primarily for guarding herds of cattle
in livestock, they were used to guard homes.
These dogs will also spoke of which you can't prove
because they kept no definitive record
over there of this breed.
They were used with the Persian king, Xerxes.
They speak of a large mastiff-type dog,
that could have been the Iranian Persian Mastiff
or could have been the one it time the Alangu
and I may have mispronunciation the word
but it's spelled A-L-A-N-G-U the Alangu Mastiff
is where they stated these dogs derived from.
Later on in history, they started using them the fight
which is something that I do not advocate
one shape form of fashion.
This is a very rustic breed of dog.
Commonly this breed is referred to as the Bully Kutta.
I do not refer to them as that and I do not call them that
because literally the word Bully Kutta and Farsi
and Urdu language mean large wrinkled dog,
they are more than just a large wrinkled dog.
They are a mastiff type of dog
that derived from Pakistan as well as India.
The Punjab region which is in both countries
using Punjab in Pakistan, Punjab in India.
It is a good dog to be utilized for guard work.
Typically these dogs male version
should be 32 inches or taller at the withers.
They make it as tall as 35 inches
I have not seen any yet 35 inches
My dogs personally they are about 34 inches at the withers
the female should be 30 inches to 32 inches at the withers.
(upbeat music)
My main purpose for breeding this breed
is to expose the Western Hemisphere
to a form of mastiff that first of all is bred healthy
and to show that this dog can have more uses
than just fighting 'cause that's primarily
what they do with it over there in India and Pakistan.
(wind blowing)
The kennel name is Halal Pakistani mastiffs okay,
the meaning of Halal is an Arabic word that means lawful.
Okay, so therefore these dogs are being used
in the lawful manner and lawful is primarily in regard
to the Islamic culture of lawful, alright.
It is not lawful to use the dogs to fight
it is not lawful to use the dogs
to do anything other than hunt
because remember, they use dogs as hunting tools
and in the past it is lawful to have them to use them
as protection of livestock and property, okay
so that's where the word Halal
of Halal Pakistani mastiff derived from.
It is Islamically lawful the way that I'm using these dogs
I do not use them to hunt any form of animals.
You come on my wife and I property, they go hunt you
you come with the uninvited they go hunting, okay.
(instrumental music)
I've been dealing with mastiff breeds of dogs since 1998.
I've done a breed Neapolitan Mastiffs
and I bred South African Mastiffs actually imported
the second black Boerboel from Lucas Van Vuuren
and specific kennels over there in South Africa.
I have decent amount of knowledge of the mastiff breed.
This mastiff breed has definitely shown me
that it is a working caliber dog.
Is it good for the tight urban areas?
No, I wouldn't recommend it.
They are protective and a Colombian protected
they have to be aggressive.
So they are aggressive towards strange people,
animals, everyone but their own.
I like large dog breeds because the larger an animal,
the equivalent of a bobcat versus a tiger,
a monkey versus a silverback with dogs.
The larger the animal, the more man stopping capabilities
that they have.
When you're dealing with dogs
that are primarily using a rustic rule environment.
You want something that can not only stop a man
from coming into your property your home uninvited.
You want an animal that could stop a coyote.
You want an animal that could stop a bobcat.
You want an animal that can stop a bear.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Once they establish the dominance,
they can be used as dogs to guard hearts
like lamb, cow, sheep and to stop any predator
that's bigger than them, you have to have a big dog.
It is we live, blue heelers are some of the best
hurting dogs but coyotes can kill a blue heeler
like that coyotes can kill a bobcat can definitely kill
an Australian Shepherd with no problem.
(upbeat instrumental music)
All the breeders here in America in the Western Hemisphere,
but I don't know anybody else outside of America
other than in Indian Pakistan that actually owns these dogs.
All of us are starting from the bottom floor.
We're starting from little to no validated proof
of existence first of all, in regard to the
I guess you could say the lineage
which is very important the pedigree.
Nobody has a pedigree on his dog.
The basic size for these dogs and type
is all we really have to go by.
Nobody could bring any form of validated proof
that this is where the breed comes from
because nobody kept any records.
So therefore, I don't put a lot of merit into
what people over there and Pakistan and India say
because they may or may not be more intelligent than I am,
but they weren't considered enough
for the breed to keep records.
How can you breed a dog
and you don't keep any form of records.
You have records for the pit bull dating back 1700.
We have records for the Boerboel the South African mastiff
dating back to the SABC and Historic Boerboel Association
dating back to the 1800s.
So we're really starting anyone who claims
that they have including myself,
anyone who claims that they have the authentic
or pure version of this breed
ask them to bring including myself,
ask them to bring some form of proof
physical that you can see,
other than campfire stories, myths and tales.
They can't bring a pedigree
they can't even bring a picture.
(instrumental music)
When you see someone stating any history of the dogs
coming from India and Pakistan
and you can get good specimens of this type of dog
from both countries, India and Pakistan,
they'll tell you who the father is, that's it.
How can you reproduce a dog
and you can only state who the dog's father is
not the dog's mother maybe that's some cultural background.
And that's the culture
and I'm not saying anything negative about the culture
but in the Western Hemisphere in the European countries
as well as in America we state the mother and the father
because they're 50% mother is in the father 50%
of the breeding.
So it's a mastiff type of dog 34 inches.
It's a mastiff type of dog
but it's not considered a breed once again,
because there's no standard.
There's definitely no pedigree,
no tracking of the mother and father,
the siblings, the little mate.
Like I said, respectfully the people in India and Pakistan
have done a severe discredit to this type of dog.
In regard to how they have been reproduced,
they have been reproduced in the exact opposite fashion
of every dollar that is recognized
as a breed in the Western Hemisphere.
(instrumental music)
They're very dominant breed of dog.
So provided the owner is not a dominant person
then they shouldn't own this breed.
My wife sells the Pakistani mastiffs
primarily to people who have homes
with a least a quarter acre of land.
And because my wife and I have only had one breeding
she kept back three of the dogs for her breeding program
and the other ones have gone to clients
that have more than a quarter acre of land.
They're not good patch because they're gonna be
very territorial and they're gonna display
aggression towards other animals and people
so once again they are reiterate
they're not a good match for the urban environment.
To be honest with you, I have seen my dog lunge at people,
but I can't honestly say that my dogs have attacked people.
They have been used in personal protection
bite words against people in the bike suits yes.
I can tell when a dog is being aggressive
and you'll see God willing you won't see
but you'll see examples of aggression
when we go outside with them
you won't see that they're aggressive
because I'm not gonna let you get nearer to me
but have very high confidence that my dogs
will bite any human and that's why I wouldn't sell them
to somebody in an urban area.
(upbeat instrumental music)
The area that my wife and I live in its rural area.
And this is why we own those dogs.
I can honestly say I've taken my dog into urban areas
'cause I have to take them to the veterinarian
and once again video proof of it but they're muzzled
I don't advocate puppy milling and my wife and I
because we are an Islamic household
we don't sell dogs for profit.
We sell our puppies to gain back what we have put
into their $10,000 dog house, 45 feet long, 12 feet wide.
We take the money back to put into the cow organs
that we pay for to feed these dogs.
We take the money to put back in the money
we use to bring the dogs over here from India.
But it's evidence we have one little on the ground
and the little 15 months old,
my female definitely gone through heat three times again
and I refuse them to breed her
but there's first of all, I want this first specimen
of the breed from our kennel to be old enough
to where I can say, "You know what?
"We're repeating the same thing"
(upbeat instrumental music)
In the Halal Pakistani Mastiff breeding contract,
you must have the dog's hips tested after age of 18 months
you cannot use these dogs in any form
of illegal fighting sports.
You can't use them for personal protection shifts and work.
The dogs that Halal Pakistani Mastiff had
their breeding contract restricts you to only breeding dogs
that they approve you to breed with, that's it.
You can't breed it with any form of dog
to bring a bigger size or a more aggressive temperament.
The reason that the Halal Pakistani Mastiff contract
is so restrictive is so that the dogs are owned
in a responsible manner, are used in a responsible manner.
They're not of course I reiterated about them fighting,
but I don't want them to be just turned off of the leash
in a backyard, quarter acre or bigger
with a four foot fence and the dog over the fence
and hurt a child, hurt a woman, hurt a man
these dogs because of their first of all,
their lack of exposure to the Western Hemisphere.
Second of all, the fact that there's probably a less than
I definitely know so less than 100 of this specimen
of dog in this country America.
I want them to be displayed and presented
in the most lawful, ethical, responsible manner.
And this is why with the Halal Pakistani Mastiff
breeding contract you're not just gonna
set them out off of a leash,
you're not gonna take them to a dog park.
You're gonna use them for what they have been used for
for years and the Halal correct uses,
they're gonna guard and they're gonna love
and they're gonna protect the family
but they're going to be represented
because they're so new to this country.
They're gonna be represented in every positive aspect
that the breed can when they actually become a breed.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Thanks to God and God alone,
I have an opportunity to establish a breed standard
for the Pakistani Mastiff, for the Indian Mastiff okay,
the mission statement of this kennel Halal Pakistani Mastiff
is to establish that first of all, there is a pedigree line.
Second of all there is a breed standard
for confirmation, angulation, appraisal
to make this breed get the same accreditation
as every European and American breed,
such as a German Shepherd, such as the South African Mastiff
such as the Great Dane, such as the Bully Mastiff.
I want this dog to be viewed equally
as every other dog coming out of Europe and America.
Will it happen in the next couple years, I doubt it.
But God willing with my wife diligent and hard work
we will bring this dog up to the same standard
as the Cane Corso, as the Bully Mastiff, as the Fila,
as the Argentina Dogo, as the Turkish kangal
all of the dogs that at one time
were not accepted by the European Kennel Clubs
and registries and they were not recognized
as breeds of dogs.
