Ch. Vedamea Midnight Diamond (Gemma)

Sire: Ch: Cnocmoy Noble Leige    Dam: Ch. Vedamea Rags To Riches

Ch. Vedamea Midnight Diamond (Gemma), our brood bitch par excellence, was a hidden treasure. Gemma is one of those bitches ALL BREEDERS dream about. Gemma never graced the show ring until
she was about two years old and immediately made us proud. She titled quickly and proved her worth was
to be in the whelping box rather than in the show ring. All her breedings have so far produced large,
healthy litters with quality from the first till the last.

Gemma is by Ch: Cnocmoy Noble Leige out of Ch. Vedamea Rags To Riches and is the dam of 
Ch. Vedamea Courtin The Blues, Ch. Vedamea Herd The Blues, Ch. Vedamea The Diamond Beau,
 and many more quality Collies that have never had the opportunity to grace the show ring. However,
these lovely Collies are proudly owned and loved as companions by people from all over this vast continent.

She has undoubtedly earned her retirement, nominating her daughter "Vedamea Chances Ah" 
(Charity) to take her place. She now lives "a life of Riley" watching over her descendants as
they follow down the same path...  raising the standard!

Ch. Vedamea My Lead (Flirt)

Sire: Mazarelli Silk Card    Dam: Vedamea Holly Would

Ch. Vedamea My Lead (Flirt) took her first challenge from the Minor class at just over six months of age under a U.K. judge at the prestigious Spring Fair show. Since then, Flirt has notched up an impressive show record at both All Breeds and Speciality shows. She placed 2nd in a large champion class at Sydney Royal 2001 aged 7 years, and repeated a similar performance at Sydney Royal 2002, placing 6th at the grand age of 8 years!

Flirt was sired by Mazarelli Silk Card out of Vedamea Holly Would, a Rainshade Noblesse Oblige (USA) and Clekarn Summer Classique daughter.

Ch. Vedamea Herd The Blues (Tylah)

Sire: Rainshade Continental Drift (USA)   Dam: Ch. Vedamea Midnight Diamond.

Ch. Vedamea Herd The Blues (Tylah), was also from our first litter by Rainshade Continental Drift (USA) out of Ch. Vedamea Midnight Diamond. Tylah has been another consistent winner at prestigious shows within metropolitan Sydney. She is a true to type bitch, soundness personified, correctly balanced with plenty of substance, a lovely head and expression, and like her brother Ch. Vedamea Courtin The Blues, she is a lovely Silvery Blue-Merle with rich tan markings.

Vedamea Chances Ah (Charity)

Sire: Rainshade Contential Drift (Imp USA)    Dam: Ch: Vedamea Midnight Diamond.

Vedamea Chances Ah (Charity) is welcomed back into our kennels in the prime of her life. Charity has resumed her show career and is already over half way to her title. She will now take over the duties of her dam, Ch. Vedamea Midnight Diamond, & become our new brood bitch par excellence. Charity is the dam of Vedamea Abeau Ryginal and many other happy healthy Collies that never had the opportunity to grace the show ring. She will be bred to her grandson Vedamea Didgeriblue in the latter half of 2002.

Vedamea In My Ivory Gown (Babe)

Sire: Ch: Vedamea Courtin The Blues    Dam: Vedamea Bluegrass Gal

I need no alibi, never explain, and never boast...

Vedamea In My Ivory Gown (Babe) is our White Merle by Ch. Vedamea Courtin The Blues out of Vedamea Bluegrass Gal (a double up of Rainshade Contintenal Drift - USA).

She is an exquisite young lady endowed with elegance and class that captures the heart as well as the eye. Babe also has a personality and temperament to die for. Yet another brood bitch par excellence, she is also an outstanding specimen of the Collie breed, and certified normal eyed. From Babe's last litter of (9) energetic pups - all certified normal eyed - we retained the very promising Vedamea Didgerible, who is featured along with his litter brother Vedamea A Blu At Uluru on our "Future" page.

We plan to repeat this breeding in the second half of 2002, and the resulting litter will again contain all blue merles. Click here to see the results of the last breeding.

 "Babe" captured here recently aged (9) years. Still in the peak of health and vitality.

Ch: Vedamea How Sweet Thou Art  "Nyobe"

Sire: Ch: Vedamea The Diamond Beau      Dam: Claretash Centrefold 

Ch: Vedamea How Sweet Thou Art (Nyobe) is a beautiful bitch that is a thrill to own and a pleasure to show. Nyobe's dam is  Claretash Centrefold (Vedamea Fullo Of Action X Vedamea Deal Me In). She is a half sister to Vedamea Abeau Ryginal.

Shown sparingly, Nyobe enjoyed her youth here at Vedamea and has always been up there on the winner's pegs. She was awarded her first Challenge & Best Of Breed from the Puppy Class, completing her championship with many notable wins to her credit. Nyobe was 2nd to the Challenge winning bitch in a large Intermediate Bitch class at her first Sydney Royal Show 2002.

From "Nyobe's" first litter came the lovely bitch Vedamea Art Ov Gold "Peaches," owned by Gail Jones in W.A.,

 Ch: Vedamea Art Ov Gold "Peaches"

D.O.B. 12/9/02

Sire: Lochwynde Legendary (USA)   Dam Ch: Vedamea How Sweet Thou Art

"Peaches" was sold to Gail Jones as an (8) week old puppy and has been a consistent winner since she began her show career in W.A.  Shown sparingly, "Peaches" took her first Challenge at the Collie Club Speciality Show at the tender age of (6 months), under semi-specialist Mrs. N.Griffen (NSW).  "Peaches" has some notable wins to her credit and attained her Championship at the age of three years. No doubt she will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Western Australia. 

EXPORTED TO JAPAN

 "Nyobe" was then bred to Ch: Vedamea I Spy My Fantasy, producing the lovely bitch  Vedamea  Scents Of Wonder "Luna Cybele." 

Vedamea Scents Ov Wonder "Luna"

Sire: Ch: Vedamea I Spy My Fantasy       Dam Ch: Vedamea How Sweet Thou Art

"Luna Cybele" was exported to JAPAN along with her half brother, "Zen Orion" where they live and were photographed here sitting on "gingko leaves" in the picturesque province of Fuchu, with their new family Takashi, Susan & Anjuli Shiobara. 

Takashi & Susan's have a private school at their home where they teach English to students of all ages, whilst Luna & Zen play a dual role as therapist to their students: no doubt teaching them what "loving a collie" is all about, as well as being the Shiobara families cherished companions.

 "Flute"

Ch: Vedamea Sheer Fantasy "Flute"

D.O.B. 14/11/02

Sire: Ch: Vedamea The Diamond Beau        Dam" Ch: Fantasy Fait Accompli (Imp USA)

"Flute" is another of those quality bitches who began her assent in the show ring slowly, but consistently! Seldom off the winners pegs "Flute" has nudged all of her siblings along the way taking many of the notable awards. "Flute" was awarded her first Challenge and Runner Up In Show at the Illawarra Collie & Shetland Sheepdog Speciality Show at the tender age of 10 months, under breed specialist Mr.B.Keetley (New Zealand).

 In August 2004 at the Dalwood Fetsival in Sydney, "Flute" completed her championship by taking Best Of Breed from her litter brother Ch: Vedamea I Spy My Fantasy, content however to allow him the honour of Runner Up! More recently she won the Australian Bred Class at the  Illawarra Collie & Shetland Sheepdog Speciality Show in September 04.

Ch: Vedamea Be My Fantasy "Marilyn"

D.O.B. 14/11/02

Sire: Ch: Vedamea The Diamond Beau        Dam: Ch: Fantasy Fait Accompli (Imp USA)

"Marilyn," like all her siblings, has been a consistent winner in the ring, in fact she has won more Class In Group and/or In Shows that all her siblings combined. Somewhat slower to mature than her litter mates, "Marilyn" has been content to be the "clown" of the litter, knowing only too well that her time will come.

After a major coat drop "Marilyn" returned to the show ring in August 2004, immediately taking  Intermediate In Show at the Dalwood Festival in Sydney (pictured above). Then at the Illawarra Collie & Shetland Sheepdog Speciality in September 2004,  she won the Intermediate Bitch Class.

Ch: Vedamea Just A Fantasy "Paris"

D.O.B. 14/11/02

Sire: Ch: Vedamea The Diamond Beau        Dam: Ch: Fantasy Fait Accompli (Imp USA)

 "Paris," owned by Mim Bester of Baqilodge Collies, is pictured when she made her come back to the show ring at 18 months old in June 2004. On her first outing she was awarded Best Of Breed, and Intermediate In Group. Paris gained her final points in grand style under Collie Specialist Mr. B. Chambers (Qld), taking out Intermediate in Group to reinforce that fact! 

Handled by her most adoring fan Julie Kaden, whose professional handling skills and natural ability to elicit Paris's beauty and radiance captivated the judges and ringside alike. Assuming a winning professional demeanor there was no doubt that they were a winning team and quickly on their ascent to attaining Paris's Championship.

Recently "Paris" produced an exquisite litter of pups to Mim Bester's Ch" Corydon Black Zerxes (Imp U.K.) 

Here some of them can be seen playing with their mother, Paris, up in the hills behind the Baqilodge Collie Kennels in Tasmania.

Ch: Vedamea Chic As Elle "Portia"

D.O.B. 02/04/04

Sire: Ch: Vedamea I Spy My Fantasy        Dam: Lochwind Artistique

"Portia," like most all of the collies bred here at Vedamea, has taken her time to mature, hence she has graced the show ring rather sparingly to date. She garnered a Best Of Breed from the Puppy class, and then took out Puppy of the Day at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Her strongest competition in the show ring is her cousin; Swinbrad Just Do It -  aka "Nike," and they have endless fun competing for that first winners peg most weeks!

On reaching maturity we are confident that "Portia" will grow up like the rest of the "family," contributing many qualities traits to our breeding program; at the same time making a name for herself in the show ring.

BEST OF BREED - SYDNEY ROYAL EASTER SHOW 2007

Ch: Vedamea Chic As Elle "Portia"

Handled to perfection at Sydney Royal Easter Show by Donna Morris of Swinbrad Collies, Portia took out the ultimate award;
 CHAMPION BITCH: BEST OF BREED!

Believing she couldn't better that win, she skipped the Collie National on 07-07-2007, and concentrated her talents in the maternal stakes, where she produced a lovely litter of flash sables and tri coloured pups. 
We look forward to their first appearance in the show ring later in 2007.

Vedamea Tri ALil Fantasy "Yoko"

D.O.B. 05/10/04

Sire: Ch: Vedamea Knight O Fantasy        Dam: Ch: Fantasy Fait Accompli (Imp USA)

"Yoko," is from the last breeding out of "Ch: Fantasy Fait Accompli (Imp USA), by Ch: Vedamea Knight O Fantasy. Enjoying her youth here at Vedamea, "Yoko," at 8 months of age has only just made her debut into the show. Showing all the hallmarks of her famous ancestors; Fantasy Collies, we look forward to the future as "Yoko" proves her ability in the whelping box, and exhibits her dynamic personality in the show ring.  Once she has mastered her ring craft we feel sure you'll see, and hear, a lot more about this beautiful young lady.

Robgai DoeRayMe (IID)  "Middy"

D.O.B. 14/02/05

Sire: Can Ch:Prairiepine's Bon Jovi X  Dam: Can Ch Prairiepine's From This Moment (Imp Can)

 We are thrilled to have Middy come join our team here at Vedamea and look forward to the infusion of her exquisite qualities into our gene pool. Middy's bloodlines need little or no introduction, as they are based on the famous American Gambit Collies. Middy is a double up on her Grandsire, the renown AM CAN Ch: Gambit's Hurricane Brew'n. ROM, and therefore a triple up on the famous AM CAN Ch: Gambit's Freeze Frame. ROM.

Aptly named after all her co-owners, we are confident Middy will contribute some sought after qualities to our N.S.W. collies, hence we pay tribute to Robgai Collies for allowing us to buy such an exquisite pup from their quality packed litter of (8). 

 Middy is proving to be following the same growth pattern as her heritage dictates, all awhile allowing us to have some fun in the show ring as she grows. However, that did not stop Middy notching up two Baby In Groups in a short space of time.  

Middy conforms to the collie breed standard in every respect, including a temperament  to die for. Her blue merle coat colour and markings are the icing on the cake, and her dynamic personality is yet an added bonus making her stand out like a "Diamond in the Rough!"

“Middy" has taken that old-fashioned time to mature, but alas the wait has not been in vain! A very pretty bitch that 
excels in breed type. She is sound in both mind and body…. possessing all those qualities her heritage is famous for. 

"Middy" has not been idle since her last appearance in the show ring. She has produced a quality litter by 
Vedamea Fantasy By’ Knight, and is further occupied with that extremely important task of keeping 
all her kennel mates in trim: her speciality being supervisor at meal times! 
Middy is about to make a comeback to the show ring, and carry on where she left off.

Ch: Vedamea Be My Alibi "Logyn"

D.O.B. 18/11/05

Sire: Ch: Gadenine High Roller        Dam: Ch: Vedamea Be My Fantasy

"Logyn" is shaping up to be as close to the ideal as any breeder could hope to get! At this stage she is surely proving a challenge to find points we would want to improve on, and if she continues to mature with these virtues intact, her future looks very positive. Shown sparingly as she matures in the grand "Vedamea" style, she has had no shortage of mates to play with. Her first appearance in the Minor Class she took the Challenge over her dam and R.U. BOB to her uncle, Ch: Vedamea I Spy My Fantasy, repeated that performance the next week with an additional Minor In Group award, and again the following week with Minor In Show under Mr. Guy Spagnolo (NSW).  

"Logyn"

Personality plus, and a head and expression that reflects right from her heart .....

"Logyn" gained her Championship whilst eligible from the Minor Class, now patiently awaiting the required 12 month age limit before she can be officially crowned. 

At just over (9) months of age at the recent Collie & Shetland Sheepdog Club Championship Show, she was awarded Runner Up BEST IN SHOW to her uncle, Ch: Vedamea Heir Of Fantasy, by semi specialist Mrs. Glenda Henson (USA).

No doubt "Logyn" will be one of those show dogs that come along once in a life time. Watch this spot to follow her success and escapades along the way.

  Vedamea Witch Art N Eaven "Heaven"

D.O.B. 5/6/06

Sire: Vedamea Fantasy By'Knight        Dam: Robgai DoeRayMe 

"Heaven" introduced herself to the show ring at her very first show, namely the Illawarra Collie & Shetland Sheepdog Club Championship Show, where she was awarded BEST BABY PUPPY IN SHOW by semi specialist Mrs. Glenda Henson (USA). 

Her litter brother; Vedamea Bachelor Ov Arts, was awarded Best Baby Puppy Dog, whilst their new kennel mate, Baqilodge Quiver N Arrow won Best Baby Puppy Smooth Collie.

"Heaven," just like her dam, has a dynamic personality and the show ring will become "her stage!"

"Heaven"

"Heaven” has proved there is no mistake as to her heritage. Like both her sire and dam, she has been slow, but sure in maturing. Missing the Collie National by only a few weeks in coat growth, “ Heaven” has been busy helping her dam to supervise meal times!!

 "Heaven" is a combination of the Fantasy and Gambit bloodlines, just like her litter brother, 
Vedamea Bachelor Ov Arts. The infusion of these two bloodlines has proved very successful and we look 
forward to what these two youngsters can contribute in both the show ring and the production stakes. 
Heaven and her dam will begin to grace the show ring about the same time, so keep an eye out for them.

Our latest hopeful will begin to "Grace" the show ring very shortly.
