Rust Belt American As Apple Pie RATO TKN CGC DCAT DS
Ambrosia was spayed March 4, 2024 and retired from breeding. She will be staying at Rust Belt Farms.
Ambrosia is from our last Rockie x Payson litter and is Dany's full sister; although the two are very different dogs. Where Dany is the bubbly social butterfly that adores meeting new people, Ambrosia takes her time to say hello and is happy to play disc with you. Ambrosia is the most cunning and intuitive of my MAS, she is infamous for getting all the dogs to get excited and run in the pasture while she quitely slips back to the house to filtch their bones that she was wanting and then she will stash them in places she remembers. She is a bit barky but sociable and polite with new people, and if she decides you are cuddle-worthy then she will just shower you with love and cuddles.
Ambrosia competes in Disc, Conformation, and Barn Hunt; she loves to swim so we are working on her doing dock diving once we can get her jumping off the dock. When Ambrosia is learning something new, she commonly gets the new task almost immediately and then is going to test out almost every single option EXCEPT the new task she just learned for 10x before agreeing that yes, you did want her to do what you just trained her to do, after that she is solid on her new skill. She is food motivated and toy motivated, and often has me laughing when we are training with her testing the boundaries of what I am asking for.

Disc Dog
Ambrosia is a wonderful disc partner - very quick footed in running down the discs. She has qualified for UPDIF in 2019 & 2020, 2022. Her favorite disc games involve distance or the agility crossover games. She is not as stylish as Dany about catching discs in the air but she is very consistent, when she loses sight of the disc she does a fast spin to look for it. Amrbosia is a very quick little dog, her strength is in running a disc down to its furthest point before catching it.
