Lagos Bush dogs. They were red and white, 
with white on the neck, rather Dingo-headed, 
and decidedly breedy-looking. They were 
purchased by Mr. W. R. Temple, but died 
of distemper soon after. Their voices were 
very curious, as they could not properly 
bark, a characteristic observed by Sir Harry 
Johnston in connection with all the Central 
African dogs. 
An interesting native of the tableland 
of Central Asia is the Lhasa Terrier, of 
which very few have as yet been bred in 
Europe. In appearance this terrier, with 
his ample and shaggy coat, reminds one of 
an ill-kept Maltese dog, or perhaps even 
more of the dog of Havana. In the best 
specimens the coat is long and straight,

and very profuse, with a considerable 
amount of hair over the eyes and about the 
long, pendant ears. The colours are white 
and black, light grey, iron grey, brown or 
buff and white. In size they vary, but the 
smaller are considered the more valuable.

This typical bitch has left many descendants 
who are well known on the show bench.

land, but the English bred Lhasa Terrier is 
an alert and confiding little companion, 
extraordinarily wise and devoted.
