Crash at ten months



Crash at his first agility trial Sept 2005




  Crash finished his Novice Nadac title with five Q's and two 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, Crash has almost finished his AD title in two weekends..one elusive Snooker Q to go, he'll be in Masters standard...before we get it :-). Running him is like Cruise Control, although he had rocket blasters at our last trial, running on the grass for the first time in awhile..


Crash is everything I could ask for in a dog and more.  He has a fantastic temperament. He had no brakes as a puppy, but is named for one of my favorite Dave Matthews songs, and now also one of the best social essay movies of 2005.  

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 very sound.  He could use a little more stifle angulation, and power from the rear, but from his first litter with Fflur, produced beautiful angulation and natural jumpers.
 
  
At the age of 15 months, Crash got his HT title in our first herding trial. Still working on his outrun.
