[4]: 171 [5]: 96 [6] It became an important dairy breed in the early twentieth century, but could not compete with the Holstein-Friesian.
[7]: 176 It is however supported by molecular genetic studies, which have shown that the Gurtenvieh, the Lakenvelder and the Belted Galloway all carry the same candidate gene for the belted phenotype. [4]: 224 [8]: 304 Cattle with this characteristic are shown in Dutch paintings from the seventeenth century.

A dairy-type Dutch Belted bull was used on these to introduce the gene for belting (this was purely for appearance), [1]: 68 and then a Chianina bull was used to increase size and improve beef qualities.
