September 2006
at the Waikato & Districts Collie Club Show Samson was awarded the ultimate
award of Best in Show under judge John Ellem (NSW) The day was extremely wet and
horrible but Samson came through and showed well. This was where Collievale
Kaimai Brooke was also awarded Puppy in Show. A good day for Collievale!
2007 saw Samson collecting his 50th CC which gives him the Gold
Merit award from NZKC.
2009 saw
Samson taking a back seat while his grandkids were being shown though he came
out a few times and after turning 7 earlier in the year he was awarded his
first Veteran in Show at the Waikato & Districts Collie Club Show on October
31st. Hard to believe he now qualifies for the veteran class.
2010 has been a quiet year for Samson and sadly he was
quite ill recently but has bounced back and although he currently sports a
shaved hairdo we are hoping for good things again from this boy.
