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.
