Many years and a border terrier, two cats, a golden retriever and Shadow the German Shepherd Dog later she finally got her dream. She got her first Border Collie, Misty, who for 15 ½ years became her best friend and constant companion as well as her guardian.
Misty: Ghostland Blue Fleck at Ttroumerle
Unlike expectations, Misty was not a traditional black and white border collie. While Jackie was searching for her dream, she discovered that Border Collies come in colours as well as black and white. And so she came to have this exceptional blue merle called Misty - Ghostland Blue Fleck at Troumerle.
Sherry (Passims Onyx) and Jaff (Ghostland Jaff at Troumerle), quickly followed Misty. This is where Jackie began to breed to produce her lovely line of dogs who, not only have the most wonderful temperaments, but have also been very successful in the show ring over the past 17 years. Troumerle Collies come in nearly all the colours at Troumerle.
The Troumerle home is near Braintree in Essex. For security reasons we do not publish our address on this web site. We do, however, encourage visits from people looking for puppies to meet our dogs at home. In fact, we will not part with a dog to individuals or families that we have not met and gotten to know sufficiently well to make a reasonable assessment of their suitability to have one of our dogs. For such occasions, we will provide you with Jackie's excellent directions or the right information for your satnav.
