Diving into HydroDash
HydroDash is the newest event in dock diving. This event is all about speedy swimming. In this challenge, the bumper is suspended just above the water. The dog jumps off the dock and swims to the far end of the pool. Then it grabs the bumper and swims back. The fastest jumper-grabber-swimmer wins!
There's a new dog in town when it comes to HydroDash. Poppy is a golden retriever that lives in Indiana with her human, Brooke Lamb-Ossorio. Poppy competes alongside other NADD beginners. But don't let that fool you. A natural-born swimmer, she's already the champion in HydroDash. In addition to swimming, Poppy loves meeting her fans. This silly pup will do anything for attention. She's known to steal ballpoint pens!
So, do you know a dog that has what it takes to be a high-flying hound? Like any sport, dock diving takes time, dedication, and practice. But one thing is fur sure: The main event in this competition is fun. Diving dogs show us that anything is paw-sible!
