  After almost a year off, working on getting Crash back into "fighting" shape, but think he is basically retired or may move him into Performance.

Crash finished his Novice Nadac title with five Q's and two extra gambler's Q's & placements in two trials. His AKC NA & NAJ in one trial, picking up a Q and placement in Open standard, first time out and two first place Open Q's in his second AKC trial. 
In USDAA we moved up to Masters quickly, with limited trialling, where
we need 2 Q's for our MAD and obtained our SAM with limited competing.
Crash finished his AD & AAD
with elusive Snooker Q's and as I predicted we had
3 Masters standard Q's before we got it......!!! 

1/2009 DAM team Qualifier Bark!
3/2009 DAM team Qualifier All Dog's!




He is easy to live with, loves to go everywhere, is fun to train and
greets everyone as a long lost friend.  In structure he is balanced,
moderate and sound.  He could use a little more stifle angulation,
and power from the rear, but has a very strong front.
Jumpers is our nemesis, with his wide turning radius and wrong courses...
always something to work on...

Crash is everything I could ask for in a dog and more. 
He has a fantastic temperament!
Named for my favorite Dave Matthews song.
He is not the fastest BC on the planet,
but he does have a brain
and runs with all his heart, when we are on course.
