Introduction.
My name is Tjitse Terpstra, born in Marrum, Friesland.
I started working with sheep early on. This was a herd of 1500 Texel sheeps and a herd of cattle. Quite different from what I do now. I did this without dogs for a while. My neighbor gave me the idea that a dog could do the work of 6 men.
He was right!
I bought my first Border Collie from Paul Andreoli, this was in 1982. I called her Sita, this was a benevolent and smart lady. Since then I have never parted ways with Border Collies. In 1990 I got my job as a shepherd in the Hijkerveld. Here I started with 800 sheep and a flock of Scottish Highlanders. I herded this flock of sheep with my dogs and for the Highlanders I had my Western horse.
I started my own business since 2004. Now I have a herd of Schoonebeker heather sheep for ecological management in Zwolle. Together with James I bring the sheep into the neighborhoods; AA-Landen, Holtenbroek and Stadshagen. I like to take the other dogs with me to train them here.
