Hi! My name is Kristina, and I have had a lifelong passion for dogs and the deep connections we form with them. My three-year-old Belgian Malinois, Nancy, and I have the incredible opportunity to travel to Italy this October to represent the US in the FCI World Championships of Mondioring at Level 1!!

It has been a dream of mine to step onto the world stage with Nancy since I brought her home at 8 weeks old. Traveling abroad with a dog can be very costly, and now that the opportunity is finally here, I am seeing the full extent of how expensive and logistically challenging competing overseas can be. Along with the usual expenses you would expect from a trip to Europe, we are also faced with pet fees for hotels, rental cars, and flights, as well as travel approved containment, USDA endorsed health certificates, and more.

We would be so grateful for any support to help us make this journey possible, whether through a donation or by sharing our story so we can reach others who might want to cheer us on. Thank you for believing in us and being part of this incredible adventure.
