Ambrosia walked away from NADD Nationals as the Lap Distance Senior Champion!!
It was a crazy week for both of us. It was not only MY first NADD Nationals but it was hers as well. I worked the entire event as one of the photographers and Ambrosia was the biggest helper and supporter. We had a week of just me and her and had a blast doing it.
I didn't know how she would handle being in a huge building for dock. She hates being at oklahoma city because its a very overwhelming event. But she surprised me at Nationals and held it together for me.
We finished prelims in 6th place but with the slate wiped clean, we went into finals with the other top 15 dogs..
I told Ambrosia that I would be happy if she jumped 12 feet. She jumped 12' 8" her first jump. That would put us in the running for the top 10 placements! I wrung her out (long hair dog problems) and kissed her noggin. Told her good job and that she had this. Little did I know, she was saving the best for last. Bro jumped 12'11"!!! That's the absolute maximum for her division and it put her in first place.
Ambrosia was awarded a beautiful rosette, a trophy and a new KLIMB!!
Im so proud of her and her performance. She worked so hard for me and definitely got all the best snuggles and snacks (like pizza bones from the photography crew). She was spoiled as per usual that week by everyone and she had a great time.
She Unleashed her Superhero!
Introducing your 2025 Lap Distance Senior Champion, Ambrosia!
