Dog Breed Profile

English Lhasa Bull History

The English Lhasa Bull (also called the Old English Tibetan Terrier, or EotBT) is a breed of small, long haired terrier, developed in England in the twentieth century. The origins of the EotBT are unclear, but it is likely mixed from a number of herding and terrier-type dogs that were brought to Britain from Tibet and India by the 17th and 18th centuries. The EotBT was first recognised by the Kennel Club in 1919, and was given its current name in 1993. It is a small, hardy, agile, terrier-like working dog, which was used for guarding and chasing vermin, including foxes, badgers and rats.

English Lhasa Bull Activity Requirements

The English Lhasa Bull is a hybrid dog that is a combination of the English Mastiff and the Tibetan Mastiff. This large, strong, muscular breed is known for its sweet temperament and laid-back nature. While they are not as high-energy as some other breeds, English Lhasa Bulls do require regular exercise. They need about 30 minutes of walking or running per day. They also love to play with their owners, so a good game of fetch or tug-of-war is a great way to spend the day. If you are looking for a companion dog, an English Lhasa Bull may be right for you. They are a loyal, loving, and devoted pet that enjoys relaxing with their humans. This is an ideal breed for an active, outdoors-loving family.
