Rochat and family dog Emit, recently appeared in A&Eâs show, âAmericaâs Top Dog.â
The show features furry friends alongside their handlers facing off on a massive canine obstacle course de-signed to test their speed, agility, teamwork, and trust as they navigate a series of challenges over two rounds of competition. Award-winning veteran studio and sports broadcaster Curt Menefee and actor and comedian David Koechner serve as hosts and break down the action, while sideline reporter Rachel Bonnetta catches up.
âI got involved with dogs and training at a very young age,â said Rochat. âMy mom brought home our first purebred show dog when I was just 8 years old. Instead of a soccer mom, I had a dog show mom who drove me to dog shows all over California, Nevada and even into Mexico in the early 1980s.â
