| 21 March 2004 | Langenthal | Sehr gut 3, Open | Mr Rune Fagerström (FIN) | A bitch of good type and size, strong head too round in her skull. Too roundish eye makes the expression wrong well set ears, good neck, short upper arm, strong body long and loin, good bone, nice colour, moves well. The prize due the head, good temperament. |
| 5 March 2004 | CRUFTS | SECOND PRIZE! Open Bitch | Mrs B J Hargreaves(GB) | Excellent breed type. Moved ok. Finer all round. |

Bonne couleur et marques blanches aux pieds. Bonne presentation. Marche bien. |
| 15 November 2003 | Obedience Beginners Bäderstadt Baden | Vorzüglich, 256 points, 5/23 | Tschüpp | THE right day. A lot was just right. From the beginning the whole thing felt fun. She did almost everything with some of the highest points. Just in the end she got glued into the ground because of my too intimidating hand movements. Got a zero. The judge would have wished a bit less jumping around by the handler between the exercises! The dog could have been faster (he didn't know Amber is not a lightning anyway - we didn't tell him that though) |
| 09 November 2003 | Obedience Beginners Diessenhofen | Gut, 193 points, 6/7 | B. Regg | We almost came late. Amber was very insecure from the very beginning. Forbade no good. I had a totally different tone in my voice. She blocked off and we got three zeros!!! She sensed my growing irritation too. Have never seen a competition with so many bad results in each group and competitors crying of disappointment! Well, we were happy for some other people who FINALLY got their excellent. Next time |
