Our goal is to prepare every puppy for a lifetime of adaptability, confidence, and connection with their forever family.
Our Story
Hello! I’m Dolores Robison, and my journey with Tibetan Terriers began in 2016 — and I’ve never looked back. Over the years, my husband Ron and I have shared our lives with many different breeds, but none have captured our hearts quite like Tibetan Terriers. They are intelligent, sensitive, adaptable, and endlessly loving. For us, there is no other breed.
I hold a Ph.D. in Applied Developmental Psychology with a focus on infant and early childhood development. That background shaped my career as a school psychologist and deepened my understanding of how early experiences — especially in nurturing, structured, and enriched environments — shape brain development, temperament, and long-term adaptability.
That same philosophy guides the way we raise our puppies. Our approach is grounded in science, early stimulation, and love. I am deeply committed to breeding healthy, well-tempered Tibetan Terriers who meet the breed standard and thrive as cherished companions.
I am a member of the Tibetan Terrier Club of America and my dogs regularly compete in AKC conformation events. But more than anything, they are family — and our lives wouldn’t be the same without them.
