Rainshade Collies are dearly loved here at home– and around the world! Rainshade Collies have traveled to join families in almost every state in the United States. They have been exported to families in several countries, spanning four continents. Wherever they go, Rainshade Collies enrich the lives of “their people” with years of love, laughter, entertainment, and close companionship.

Our sweet Rainshade Collie adventurers have each accomplished great things. Several have earned championship and/or obedience, herding, and agility titles. Some have served as therapy or service dogs. Other Rainshade Collies have appeared on television, graced the pages of books and magazines, served as commercial advertising models, and participated in community service activities.

No matter where they go, or what they accomplish, Rainshade Collies fill people’s lives with joy and leave deep footprints on the hearts of everyone they meet!

Rainshade Marjo Great Spirit was introduced into our breeding program in 1990 to allow us to incorporate the white-factor gene and add additional elegance to our line. This beautiful white Collie with the tricolor head played an important role in our breeding program and all of our white-factored Collies trace their pedigrees back to him.

Moonbeam holds the distinction of siring the first Collie litter ever produced from frozen semen. This litter was produced in Australia, after Moonbeam was exported to Switzerland.

Rainshade Marjo Great Spirit is the sire of many prominent Rainshade Collies and his photographs on this website, taken by Dr. Sharon Vanderlip when Moonbeam was ten months old, appear in many books about Collies.

Certified normal-eyed (CERF CO-595-90-15).
