Samson was the type of Collie from which dreams are made. He stood out as the handsome pup in the litter and only improved with age. When Samson was just a pup, he stole the hearts of some Collie breeders visiting us from Australia and we agreed to let them export him to Australia.

Back in those days Australian quarantine was a long nine months. But when Samson came out of quarantine he soon sired Australian Champion Vedamea Rags to Riches and Australian Champion Vedamea Melody to Record, CDX.

Today, many Australian Collie champions trace back to Samson. He is the great grandsire of Australian Champion Vedamea The Diamond Beau, Best of Breed Winner at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2001.

The sweet little pup from Southern California is now a part of Collie history and his positive influence on the breed Downunder can still be seen and appreciated today. More important, the indelible footprint Samson left on everyone's heart will be felt forever.

Sampson is certified normal-eyed with the Canine Eye Registration Foundation.
