Ch. Vedamea Rags To Riches (Rags)

Ch. Vedamea Rags To Riches (Rags) was one of two champions from our first litter by Rainshade Noblesse Oblige (USA).

Rags took the show scene by storm, becoming a force to be reckoned with from the first moment she walked into the show ring. This glorious bitch had everything, portraying true Collie type: a picture of overall balance, level top line, correct angulation, exquisite head and expression, effortless movement. These were all expressed as pure electricity in the show ring. Rags began her impressive show career by taking her first challenge at seven months of age amongst a line up of multiple Best In Show winners. At ten months of age, Rags was awarded BEST EXHIBIT IN THE WORKING DOG GROUP at our ROYAL show and Best Puppy In Show the following week, under the renowned Collie Specialist judge, Mrs Lorraine Still of the U.S.A.

Rags proved her worth was not only as a show Collie when she became the foundation of so many notable Vedamea Collies, many of which are featured throughout our web site.

Rags, was bred to Ch. Cncomoy Noble Leige. This union produced the diamonds in our kennels: Ch. Vedamea Midnight Diamond and Vedamea The Crown Jewel, cementing her position as the cornerstone of our breeding program.

Vedamea Uptown Girl (Breezie)

Vedamea Uptown Girl (Breezie) was a result of the combination of Rainshade Noblesse Oblige (USA) and Rainshade Sans Souci (USA). Breezie was nearing her Championship when she met with an accident early in her life, which earned her the position of top house pet and boss of the pack.
