International Champion Ringleader Blue of Rainshade was exported to Switzerland at four months of age as a show prospect in 1980. Taking the show scene by storm, Ringleader defeated the top Collies of the day. He quickly obtained his Swiss, Italian, Monacan, and International Championship titles. In the limited time he was exhibited, he was always a winner. He earned 5 CACIBs, 5 RCACIBs, 13 CACs, 2 RCACs, and the rare distinction of winning BEST IN SHOW. He is full brother to Rainshade Alice Blue Gown. Alice was retained at Rainshade Collies for breeding purposes and many of today's Rainshade Collies trace back several generations to Alice.

For Ringleader's lineage, find his full sister, Rainshade Alice Blue Gown, on pedigree of Rainshade Soul on Ice.
