CH Deja Vu Back Seat Driver CGC, RN, PT, JHD-s adds "RA" to his name at the Peninsula Dog Fanciers Club rally trials in Bremerton WA, March 22, 2009. Judge Larry L. Tanner designed a challenging course for us with 20 stations.

Nash Qualifies for 2 Rally Advanced Legs!

Deja Vu Back Seat Driver, CGC, RN, PT, JHD-s earned two legs toward his Rally Advanced (RA) obedience title at the Gig Harbor Kennel Club Trials in Shelton WA, September 20 & 21, 2008 under judges Cynthia A. Rustad & Philip D. Rustad. The RA course is performed entirely off leash. The outdoor 40' x 50' course on both days contained 14 stations which was tight.

On Saturday, the second station was a 16" high jump followed by a slow pace heel at the third station. Nash took the jump and landed at the third station where he had to immediately slow down. On Sunday, the course contained a 90° halt, pivot-right, halt, a 90° halt, pivot-left, halt and a 180° halt, pivot-right, halt. Suffice it to say that Phil Rustad is a stickler for footwork. Despite this, Nash took 4th place with a score or 90 out of 100, only 6 points below the 1st place dog! Nash's marked improvement on Sunday is attributed to a workout with the woolies on Saturday afternoon.

Judge Philip Rustad remarked: "He is a fun dog." We couldn't agree more!
