"Discover the Thrilling World of Dock Diving with North America Diving Dogs!Welcome to the exhilarating realm of North America Diving Dogs (NADD), where passion for dogs meets the excitement of aquatic sports! NADD is a premier organization dedicated to promoting the sport of dock diving across North America, offering a platform for dogs and their handlers to showcase their athleticism, agility, and bond in a fun and competitive environment.
So, what exactly is dock diving? Imagine a dog bounding down a dock, launching itself into the air with boundless energy, and gracefully plunging into a pool of water in pursuit of a toy or simply for the sheer thrill of the jump. That’s dock diving in a nutshell, and it’s a sight to behold!
NADD provides a structured and inclusive platform for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and skill levels to participate in this thrilling sport. Whether your canine companion is a seasoned competitor or a first-time jumper, there's a place for them at NADD events.
One of the key attractions of NADD is its welcoming atmosphere. It's not just about the competition; it's also about camaraderie among fellow dog enthusiasts. At NADD events, you'll find a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share a love for dogs and a passion for dock diving. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a spectator cheering from the sidelines, you'll be welcomed with open arms.
NADD events feature a variety of exciting competitions, including:
Distance Jump: This is the quintessential dock diving event where dogs compete to see how far they can jump from the dock into the pool. It's a test of speed, strength, and agility, with dogs leaping impressive distances to retrieve their favorite toy.
Air Retrieve: In this event, dogs showcase their vertical jumping ability by leaping off the dock to snatch a bumper suspended over the water at varying distances. It's a thrilling display of athleticism and precision as dogs strive to grab the bumper at the highest point possible.
Hydro Dash: Hydro Dash is a fast-paced race where dogs retrieve a toy from the 37’ mark in the quickest time possible. It's an exciting and action-packed event that showcases the speed and agility of participating dogs.
Whether you're a dog owner looking to engage in a new and exciting activity with your furry friend or a spectator seeking thrilling entertainment, North America Diving Dogs offers something for everyone. Join us in celebrating the athleticism, camaraderie, and joy of dock diving with NADD!"
Splashes include up to three minutes on the dock for one optional practice jump and two judged jumps. You must inform the judge prior to your jump if you want it to be considered a "practice jump".
This event is an Open Splash event. This is done at Portable Dock trials and other shows that have timing conflicts with other dog events. The time for each splash for the day will be set such as 9am for example for all the splashes. You have between the posted start time and end time (either before AR starts or the end of the last day, usually 3pm) to complete your splashes for the day. When you check in you will be handed “Splash Cards” for each splash that you pay for. When you are ready to jump during the day, hand a splash card to the wrangler to get put into the running order. It is the handler's responsibility to be sure to be present it before their turn to jump. Please be aware that at many events, the running order board fills very quickly and early in the day.
Please Note: You must pay for all pre registered splashes at time of check-in.
Each distance jumping Splash allows 2 judged jumps, back to back. The longest jump of them will be your Qualifying Score.
You can earn a Diving Dog Title at this event. You must have five Qualifying Scores within a Division. NADD titles are recognized by the AKC and CKC through their recognition programs. View their applications here (AKC) and here (CKC).
Please read the official NADD Rules before you attend the Trial.
