Introduction

Amber is the lone liver & white girl in our household of English Springer Spaniels. She is a very friendly 19" girl who loves her playmates "Gertie", Ch Bondir's Irrepressible Gertie & "Rosalie", Bondir's Rose de la Kermesse. Amber was whelped December 6, 2000 and is the second Libby daughter to join our crew. We love her attitude and personality. (Back)

Show & Activity Updates

Amber finished her American championship with a fifth major on September 23, 2006 by going Best of Winners at the Helena Montana Kennel Club Show under judge Richard Byrd. She was beautifully shown by Shannon Scheer, CPHA.

Amber was also the recipient for 2006 of the Best of Opposite Sex Award (breed level) from the English Springer Spaniel Club of Canada. She was Specialed on a very limited basis so we were very pleased.

Amber won the large Open Bitch class at both the October 1st, 2005 & October 2nd, 2005 Monroe Kennel Club shows in Monroe Michigan. These shows were held in conjunction with the IESSC Symposium. Saturday's judge was British English Springer Spaniel breeder Ray Smith (Melverly), Sunday's judge Australian English Springer Spaniel breeder Kay Keely (Alhambra). Amber was expertly handled at these shows by Karen Miller. Amber just needs 1 single point to complete her AKC championship.
Check out her picture from this show. (Click on the picture below to have it open in a larger version.)

Amber completed her Canadian Championship in 2002 as a 15 month old, completely breeder/owner handled. She obtained her first six points from the puppy classes. She has 4 majors in the U.S. for 14 points, expertly handled by Shannon Scheer CPHA. She is pictured below obtaining her first U.S. major in June of 2003 under judge Howard Falberg.

Amber obtained her PCD (Pre-Companion Dog) title in August of 2003 with her novice handler Stu. We look forward to her entering the Novice ring soon.

Amber has completed three sets of Agility classes & has had some success in fun matches. We hope to have her ready for regular competition soon.

We had the opportunity to attend the Eastern Slopes Spaniel Association Hunt tests in August of 2004 & after the tests we were thrilled to be given the opportunity to introduce Amber to birds. She experienced her first bird retrieves & especially loved the opportunity to swim. We hope to be able to pursue this opportunity in the future. (Back)
