On October 27 and 28, 2022, Ryder competed at the 2022 North American Diving Dog (NADD) National Championships in Springfield, Missouri, in Distance and Hydro Dash. In Distance, he finished 62nd out of 108 dogs; competing against dogs over half his age. In Hydro Dash, he missed earning a place in the semifinal by .04 seconds. This was our first ever national-level competition and quite an accomplishment considering he was adopted in March, and we've been a team on the dock since May, 2022. Hopefully, we'll be back next year competing in the Veteran, or "old man", division.
