Episode 75: AKC Performance Events

What is going on, everybody? Welcome to the Tac Box podcast.

We are here fresh off the Japanese Chin Club of America, 2026 Nationals, where Touche had a fantastic showing and week there.

And Dale and I are both tired from coming back.

We are here to record episode 75 of the podcast today.

So three quarters of the way to episode 100.

And we have some super special guests.

We're going to talk dog performance today.

And we have Kelly and Patty with us.

And before we jump into the performance, we're going to turn it over to them.

We're going to get a little bit of a detail from each one of them about how they got into dogs and just to inform you guys a little bit about each other.

And then we are going to dive into performance.

I know Dale's got some research going.

He's got some performance questions.

So we're going to ask questions.

They're going to answer all to create hopefully a really good episode for everybody listening.

So All right, Kelly and Patty, who wants to go first? Tell us a little bit about yourselves, how you got into dogs and, you know, your journey to where you're at today.
