Benson
ranks among the most beloved Collies at Rainshade and his effervescent
personality, intelligence, and wonderful sense of humor are consistently
passed on to his descendents.
Benson
and his littermate were the first Collies conceived from frozen
semen in the United States (their sire, Rainshade Marjo Great
Spirit, had been exported to Switzerland). Benson produced his
own litter of pups by frozen semen to Kingsmark Out of the Blue
at Rainshade. This breeding produced a litter of five beautiful
male puppies, including Rainshade Poetic Just Ice and Rainshade
Blizzard of Awes. Benson also sired a litter to Rainshade Out
of the Blue, CD (in Iowa) by artificial insemination using fresh
chilled semen. This litter produced six puppies, including Canadian
Champion Mareb's Crystal Blue Persuasion, CD.
Benson is certified normal-eyed with the Canine Eye Registration
Foundation certificate #CO-722-92-16 and certified free of hip
dysplasia with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals certificate
#CO-1098G24M-T.
