The Tibetan Terrier, the Holy Dog of Tibet, evolved over two thousand years of harsh conditions, tempered by the warmth and care of Monks high in the Himalayas.
The “Little People”, as they were called, were highly valued as companions to the Monks and families who owned them. They were treated like children in the family. Like the children, they eagerly assisted in taking care of the monastery’s or family’s property and their flocks and herds. (more…)
REGALIA TIBETAN TERRIERS was begun in 1976 when we had the good fortune to meet Anne Keleman of TI SONG TIBETAN TERRIERS. That meeting resulted in our becoming enamored with the breed and becoming the proud owner of a beautiful female puppy, Happy, who would quickly become Champion Ti Songs Happiness is Hope, our first Champion Tibetan Terrier.
The rest is history. At REGALIA we are proud to have had our dogs serve as the foundation for and included in the pedigrees of many of the best known and top winning Tibetan Terrier breeders. (more…)

The well-feathered tail curls up and falls forward over the back. The feet are large, flat, and round in shape, producing a snowshoe effect that provides traction.
