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 youngster, Leah Ryan (a Collie judge) and Barry Ryan decided to take him home with them to Australia. It was the beginning of close friendships—between the Ryans and our Collies, and the Ryans and ourselves.

After nine months in Australian quarantine, Samson sired Australian Champion Vedamea Rags to Riches and Australian Champion Vedamea Melody to Record, CDX. 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 influence can be seen today. But more important, the indelible mark he left on everyone's heart can be felt forever.

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