Background[]
The Olate Dogs is a high-energy, fast-paced dog act filled with pet tricks led by Richard Olate, 55, and his son Nicholas Olate, 19. Richard grew up in South America in a poor family. A third generation circus performer, Richard has performed since he was 12, and through hard work and constant struggle, he made it to the United States at the age of 33. His dream is to have his own dog variety show, and he currently has four completely different dog acts. Most of Richard's dogs are rescues from shelters. [1]
Preliminary[]
Olate Dogs' preliminary performance in Episode BC05 consisted of labradoodles hopping over metal poles, standing and rotating on their hind legs, standing on their fore legs, forming a conga line, jump-roping, and performing backflips. The music used during the act was Tito Puente's "Machito Forever" Saf, Pennies and Fresh gave the act standing ovations. Their performance was strong enough for the judges to send them to Judge Cuts instead of Christian Stoinev & Percy.
