    From Nationals to the World Stage — Tim Karchnak & Duck

    In the launch episode of Behind the Blind, we sit down with Tim Karchnak following his AWMA National Championship win in Ocala, Florida with his dog, Duck. This episode goes beyond the scores and podium photos to talk about what it actually takes to get there—the pressure, the preparation, the moments of doubt, and the decisions made long before stepping onto the field. Tim walks through the season leading up to Nationals, what almost didn’t go right, and the mindset required to trust training when it matters most. We also spend time getting to know Duck away from competition, exploring the partnership, personality, and trust that define their team. From managing expectations to recovering mentally between phases, this conversation captures the work and discipline that aren’t visible on trial day. Winning Nationals is a milestone—but not the end of the story. Tim shares why his sights are now set on representing Team USA at the 2026 FMBB World Championship in Romania, what it truly takes to get a team to the world stage, and why he chose to invite the community into that journey through open fundraising. This episode sets the tone for Behind the Blind: the training, the mindset, the partnership, and the community behind every big moment in dog sports.
