I have always loved dogs and had a collie mix growing
up. After joining our local kennel club, my husband and I researched breeds
and decided to get a Belgian Tervuren. We waited for three years for a
particular litter and were devastated when an emergency c-section ended that
dream. A friend suggested getting a collie and the rest was history.
Jack came into our home at 8 weeks of age and reminded
me how much love a collie has to give. After competing in obedience, I
wanted to give the conformation ring a try. I still haven’t made it into
the conformation ring because my oldest son wanted to try Jazz at the first
conformation class. Little did my husband and I know how our life was going
to change…..
Welcome to Jereco Collies
We are a small kennel in Northeast Wisconsin. Our goal is to produce
quality collies that are as comfortable in the breed ring as they are on
your couch. All of our dogs are raised in the home with plenty of
socialization. Our family is involved in Conformation, junior showmanship,
obedience, agility, carting, rally, herding, backpacking, therapy visits.
If it can be done with dogs we will try it. We only have one or two litters
of puppies a year. puppies are raised with lots of care and attention. We
do not start placing them until they are ten weeks old. They will have their
first puppy vaccinations, eye checks, vet health checks, and have started
crate and house training. All puppies that are placed in pet homes are sold
on a limited registration with the American Kennel Club, and must be
spayed/neutered by the time they are nine months old at which time I release
the registration papers. All dogs are sold with a contract guaranteeing
their health and temperament. Contracts for puppies sold into pet homes
include a spay/neuter requirement. Occasionally adults are also available.
We are proud and active members of:
Collie Club of America
Northern Wisconsin Collie Club
Packerland Kennel Club
American Working Collie Association
As a family we train classes at our local club and I am
a Certified CGC instructor.
