Millers Farm boast a fascinating past. One of the previous custodians, a British surgeon, Dr. Agnes Greig, introduced the Tibetan Terrier to the Western World. Dr. Greig practiced medicine in Northern India in the 1920s, and in 1922, she performed a life-saving operation on a Tibetan woman. As thanks for her services, Dr. Greig was given a Tibetan Terrier. The doctor was so fascinated by the breed that she established her own breeding program from Millers Farm.
