Triburle began quite a few 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 Championship show quality, so began our quest!

Unfortunately we were beset by problems, having several "false starts". We ultimately began our show line with Emryks Lucy Lockett at Triburle. Although no oil painting herself, she gave us Triburle Georgie Porgie [1CC] and the bitch Polly Flinders who is behind all our dogs today.

Our first "show" litter contained Triburle Black Panther [2RCC's]. He was my faithful follower, and took us through our Championship show initiation!.

The Past.

Polly was a great brood bitch, and a joy to show as well. She produced my favourite bitch Triburle Molly Flinders, winner of many BPIB and 4 Reserve CC's. Molly produced Triburle Molly Magpie, winner of 3RCC's & Triburle Mister Nice Guy. Unfortunately Maggie failed to reproduce, despite many many tries. Maggie was a winner of the Ladypark Trophy with 75 points to her credit. Mister Nice Guy was exported to Italy.

Also from Polly [when mated to Mister Nice Guy] came Triburle Folly Flinders. also with 4 RCC's. From her we bred Triburle Dark Angel JW, and she in turn littermates Triburle First Mate & Triburle Charlie's Angel. Folly is currently curled up on the mat sleeping, while Angel [now also a veteran] is participating in her favourite pastime of barking.

Emryks Honeysuckle must also have a mention. She was bought from Emryks whilst mating Polly to Runnaway, and she gained 1 CC & 1RCC. However as she was constantly picked on by the bitches, she went to a pet home, where she lived until when she died at the age of 16.

Polly also produced Triburle Holly Flinders 1CC [when mated to Mirpet Matt Bianco] and Triburle Sally Cinders 1RCC [both at Tafton] and have bred on for their kennel.
Folly's litter brother Int. Ch Triburle Mister Moonlight was sent to Italy when a pup, and has won extremely well for Elena & Luca Bernadini, and has produced well for them.

The Present

Pride of place in the kennel goes to Ch Salsina Celtic Rosebud at Triburle JW. She is our first Champion, and broke our run of 13 reserve CC's. We first saw her as a baby at the Salsina Kennels of Carl & Jayne Llewellyn. Circumstances at the time didn't allow us to buy her, but we followed her show career with interest. When offered the opportunity to have her as a junior, there was no question! Since she has been at Triburle she has gained her title and was runner-up in British Collie Dog of the Year 2006. Meg has in her pedigree many of the dogs we have both admired and used in the past. We are justly proud of her. Hopefully puppies will follow.
Meg was B.I.S at Midland Collie Club Championship Show 2006 and 2007.
She now has 6 C.C's and 3 R.C.C's.
Plus 2 Green Stars & BIS at the AICSS
We are excited and delighted that Meg is finally in whelp to Ch Lynmead Simply in my Soul.
Puppies are due early November, enquiries for these much awaited pups are welcome.

Such is dog showing, following highs there are always lows and we were devastated to loose Charlie's Angel whilst nursing a litter.

He is a delight to own, with a wonderful gentle nature....and a playful streak!!

We look forward to campaigning him during 2008, as he is maturing into a wonderful adult.

We are very excited about the prospect of a new addition to the kennel.
