Debbie Holland of the famous "FANTASY COLLIE KENNELS" in Indiana, U.S.A. bred Juliet who boasts a pedigree with credentials more suited to that of Royalty. For example, her Grandsire, Ch. Fantasy Bronze Talisman ROM is the sire of more American Champions than any other Collie in history, and his sire is the top sire in Japan. His dam was the dam of the C.C. of A. National Breed Winner! Further, he holds the record for the past three years as top sire of All Breeds. More importantly, he has been tested for every conceivable genetic disorder the collie breed has had to encounter.

"Juliet" is truly a collie who fills the heart as well as the eye, demonstrating so many of the typical "FANTASY" characteristics. Her exquisite, finely-chiselled head shows definition and detail of profile, and her lovely, dark, almond-shaped eye ensure that 'very sweet expression.' Her correct-fitting coat adorns a well-constructed body, upon four sound legs and superb feet. Combine all of this with her vivacious and confident personality, and you have...

Still awaiting the arrival of her more formal attire, Juliet made her debut into the Sydney show ring in February 2002. Handled by Donna Morris of Swinbrad Collies, whose professional handling skills and natural ability to elicit Juliet's beauty and radiance captivated the judges and ringside alike. Assuming a winning professional demeanour she was quickly on her ascent to her Australian Championship.

With her endless charisma, Juliet wins the affection of all she encounters. This endearing nature has brought her an especially devoted following.

"Juliet" has created a 'new need' for us to look to the past in awe, the present with pride and the future with wonder.

Words cannot express our gratitude to Debbie Holland for having the intuitive wisdom to allow a collie of "Juliet's" qualities to come to Australia and further enhance our gene pool.

We may have been the first to import American Collies through our RAINSHADE bloodlines and, in turn, sparked a chain reaction with the importation of numerous American imports in recent times, assuring Australian breeders they can now proudly boast bloodlines from the "cream of AMERICA'S crop," no better than FANTASY!!!
