Help Sassie and Me Get to the NZ Dog Agility Nationals in Cromwell!
New Plymouth, Taranaki
Hi everyone!
I’m Kiana, and this is my amazing dog Sassie 🐾 — my best friend, teammate, and adventure buddy. Together, we’ve spent the last few years competing in dog agility, and it’s become our passion. There’s nothing like the thrill of running a course together, trusting each other completely, and sharing those “we did it!” moments at the finish line.
This year, we have the incredible opportunity to attend the New Zealand Dog Agility Championships(NZDAC) — aka Nationals! It's being held in October in Cromwell, and we’re so excited at the thought of being part of something this special.
But it's a big journey for us. Travelling from Taranaki means crossing on the ferry and making a long road trip down the country, all of which adds up. Between travel costs, accommodation, and entry fees, it's a stretch for us financially.
This is where we’re hoping you might be able to help.
Every little bit goes directly toward helping us make this dream come true. We’re not just chasing ribbons — we’re chasing joy, connection, and the chance to represent all the love and work we’ve poured into this sport.
If you’ve ever seen a dog’s tail wag with pure happiness just from doing what they love, that’s Sassie every time she steps onto the course. And for me, getting to share that with her is simply the best feeling in the world.
Thank you for reading, supporting, and believing in us. Whether you’re able to donate, share this page, or just send good vibes, we appreciate it more than we can say.
Money will be used to pay for petrol, Ferry to and from the South Island, entries and accommodation as well as anything Sassie needs to achieve our goals for nationals ❤️
We made the team for Nationals!!! 18 September 2025
Last month, we trialled for the Zone 3 team for Nationals. We made the team! and with flying colours, I might add. We are so lucky to have the support that we have and to be competing in a team with legendary handlers and dogs! Sass and I are definitely going to have to step up our game! But none of this would have been possible without the support of you all, and I am eternally grateful. ❤️
Thanks Milly ❤️
