Congratulations to Lynn and Polly ("Shaksper Hippolyta") on earning their PACH4 title. The PACH stands for Preferred Agility Champion. The numeral "4" indicates that Polly earned the title four times over. To earn the title once a dog has to run twenty times without any mistakes on both the standard and jumpers course on the same day, plus earn 750 speed points (run a total of 750 seconds faster than the expected running time on multiple courses). The PACH title is the preferred programs equipvalent to the MACH. The preferred program allows Poly to jump in the 4 inch height category, rather the the regular 8 inch division. Congratulations Polly on the PACH4!
