TRIBURLE
began some 30 odd years ago, with a typical lassie. We took her to a
few shows, where she did well, obtaining a few BPIB awards. However,
we soon realised that she was not the championship show quality we were
looking for, and so began our quest !!
Our first litter contained TRIBURLE BLACK PANTHER (2 Reserve Ccs). He was my faithful follower and took us through our championship show initiation !! Unfortunately we were beset by problems, having several false starts, including distemper. We ultimately began our show line with Emryks Lucy Lockett at Triburle. Although no oil paining herself, she gave us Triburle Georgie Porgie (1 CC) and Triburle Polly Flinders, from whom we began our show stock.
Polly was a great
brood bitch, she produced my favourite bitch Triburle Molly Flinders,
winner of many BPIB awards and 4 Reserve Ccs. Molly produced Triburle
Molly Magpie (3 RCCs & winner of Ladypark Points Trophy) and Triburle
Mr. Nice Guy. Maggie was never to reproduce but loved the practice,
and Nicky was exported to Italy.
Folly produced Triburle Dark Angel JW, the first collie JW winner of the new millenium. Sadly Folly and Angel were put to sleep in May 2008. Problems with litters, seasons and matings continued, and so when given the opportunity to have SALSINA CELTIC ROSEBUD AT TRIBURLE JW, when she was around 18 months, we were more than grateful !! She gave us new inspiration, and has pride of place. Meg broke our run of 13 Reserve CC’s to become the first Triburle champion, and now has 6 CC’s and 3 RCC’s, along with 2 Green Stars and a BIS at the All Ireland Collie and Sheepdog Society. 
Ch Salsina Celtic Rosebud at Triburle JW 6 CC's & 3RCC's [also shown at the head of the page] We are forever grateful to Carl and Jayne Llewellyn (Salsina) for letting us have Meg (well most of the time anyway). She has won BIS at Midland Collie Club twice, in 2006 and 2007, and was Runner Up at the British Collie Dog of the Year in 2006. Her CC’s were awarded by Barrie Makepeace, Anne Hollywood, Aileen Speding, Carole Smedley, Joan Sykes and Francis Kaye.
Jopium Touch of Soul for Triburle JW [Ch Lynmead Simply in my Soul x Lovcul Silk Caress] Whilst on a quest to find a tricolour bitch puppy, I came across an advert for a tricolour dog in France. Whilst researching his pedigree, in the hope of obtaining a bitch, I was very taken with the quality of puppies from the French male Velour Noir du Clos de Montamer (Rocco). Further enquiries led us to obtain my Choco - so different in personality to the gentle and quiet Otis. Choc is the clown of the house, full of vitality with a character that will always raise a smile. CHOCO POPS DU DOMAINE DES EMERAUDES AT TRIBURLE JW (Imp Fra.) has been here since the end of February 2008, and quickly amassed enough points for his Junior Warrant in five months, travelling literally from one end of the country to the other, with Otis - proving the wonderful temperaments of these two dogs. Never a cross word between them. I am eternally grateful to Cyril Duchazaubeneix, (Choco’s breeder) and Virginie Karcs (Owner of Rocco) for their parts in Choco joining us. Choco is the proud father of little JACK, and we wish Aileen and Joe all the best with the little Choco button. (Remember quality not quantity! !)
Choco Pops du domaine des Emeraudes (Imp. Fra) Born 8.4.2007 The final acquisition for us was that of JOPIUM CRACKED ICE AT TRIBURLE. He was the result of my search for a blue bitch to join us !! He is my special boy, so gentle and best pal of Choco. He is a stunning clear blue, and is eye clear at 6 weeks. His dad is the lovely Ch. Erjon Ebony Byron JW and his mum Ch. Jopium Magic in the Mist JW. Ice qualified for Crufts on his first outing, a trip and a half, which he took in his stride like a trooper. I look forward to showing him in 2009, along with Choco. Otis and Choco
are offered at stud in 2009, (pedigrees to follow). Ice will join
them when he has matured.
A special mention must also be given to our sheltie Crystal, my constant companion for 8 years. Her adventures would fill a book, she is so resilient to whatever besets her. Unfortunately following a bout of Kennel Cough, it was discovered that she has nasal cancer. We are fully appreciating her remaining time with us, and she is still the boss of the house, keeping Ice and Choco firmly in their places. The house won’t be the same without her, and it is a time we are dreading. I am still on my quest for a blue and/or a tricolour bitch, but seem to return home with males, so this will have to go on the back burner for a while !! We hope that Meg will be forthcoming with puppies (her last litter was re-absorbed during the bout of Kennel Cough), but we think she feels that pups are beneath her elevated station in life ! However, I live in hope. Our two other bitches - Triburle Calendar Girl and Jashika Love N Kiss at Triburle will be mated when then condescend to have their seasons !! The past few years have been the most enjoyable we have had in the world of Rough Collies, and I would like to thank Jayne, Jo and Duna for their friendship, loyalty, support and help during this time. We have had some laughs, some tears but above all some unforgettable times !
