The Gaddi Kutta, also known as the Himalayan Mastiff, is a dog breed originating from the mountainous regions of northern India, particularly Himachal Pradesh.

Their weight ranges from 40 to 50 kg for males and 30 to 45 kg for females. Their body is well-proportioned, with robust musculature, a solid back, and strong legs, allowing them to easily navigate mountainous terrain. Their head is broad with a well-developed skull, a slightly tapered muzzle, and medium-sized ears that naturally fall to the sides of the head. The eyes are usually dark, expressing a marked vigilance and intelligence.
