Amber
is the litter sister to Aasha (Kendaamber My Fair Lady).
Amber
lives in Somerset with David and the other Golden
Retrievers at Gatchells, including her grandmother Gatchells Summer Jade, and
aunt Gatchells Faith. We are very fortunate that Amber has
gone to such an extremely knowledgeable and loving home.
In August 2009 Amber gained her Junior Warrant.
In November 2011 Amber gained her Show Champion title.

enjoyable day.
Kendaamber Evita at Gatchells - 1st Junior Bitch
Amber
won Junior Bitch - there were 21 bitches present in the
class. Most importantly she is a very happy
girl who enjoys her days out with Dave and the other
Gatchells girls.

Below is
Amber's critique:
"Beautiful bitch from any angle and very well shown and
presented. Correct angulation fore and aft, deep
through the heart, short in the loin, in super coat and
condition. Moved with drive from her super
quarters with good carriage, destined for top honours in
the future."

eye both moving and standing, beautifully balanced
throughout, lovely head and expression with excellent reach
of neck, good shoulder placement with excellent layback of
upper arm, good body and well bent stifles, strong quarters
with very neat hocks, moved well and with drive, considered
her for top honours but had to give way on maturity.
Am sure her big day will come."

"Thank
You".......
David for taking such good care of Amber and showing
her to perfection. With the exception of the
GRC Championship Show all of Amber's points have
been gained at in the West Country which means Amber
has not been travelling far and wide in the quest
for Junior Warrant points.
Jenny Newton and 'Joeka'.
Julie and Jan
Merrick (Stormerick).
All
of David's friends who have been so supportive.
The
judges who have thought so highly of Amber.
"And not
forgetting".......
Amber's
achievements would not have been possible without Yvette (Mannings),
who gave me so much honest and practical advice from the
day Libby arrived. This included the choice of
stud dog for the litter and rearing the puppies in a way
which ensured they had the best possible start.

I really did need more cards. This beautiful young lady just
had that extra bloom, well presented in very pretty pale
gold coat, she teems with quality. Well proportioned head
with super pigmentation & alert expression, well off for
bone, with super angles, good reach of neck & level topline
& tailset. Covered the ground with a good length of stride."

Evita at Gatchells - it was a special moment for me to watch
Amber at Crufts. She was handled by Julie
Merrick (Stormerick). Despite not being quite in her
best dress Amber was short-listed in a quality Yearling
Bitch class of 26.
Below is a video
clip of Amber and Julie (wearing red trousers);
Amber's friend Lace was also in the class being handled by
Dave. Lace gained a Reserve place.
Although
Libby qualified she did not go this year.

Kendaamber
Evita at Gatchells - I have admired her from the ringside in
the past but have never seen her in better form. She
just oozes quality. Totally balanced, perfectly
proportioned and in beautiful profuse pale coat she could
not be denied top honours. Feminine head with lovely
expression, good length of neck, text book shoulders, good
front with excellent bone and feet. Mature body with
good spring of rib, level topline, short strong loin and
correct tailset, excellent hindquarters with good width and
let down hocks. Never let her handler down, both
standing and moving. CC"
