Meet the Breeds 2013
This past weekend, AKC put on the Meet the Breeds show at Javitts Center and Adalhi and I wen to check out these pooches! This years show consisted of numerous breeds from A-Z, pet related vendors, Motel 6 and even a few speciality cats in the mix. It was a great opportunity to come see rare breeds, giant breeds and what ‘breed’ standards look like. We wanted to go early for all the great dog food samples and to see all the dogs before their nap time.
Pet Parents is an insurance company that was a huge sponsor. They took ‘huge’ so literally and provided 2 photo booths along with a ton of HUGE dog items like this giant dog bowl with giant kibble.
A giant tennis ball!

Meet the Breeds – A Furry Weekend with @akcdoglovers
Went down to the Javits Center to meet over 200 breeds of dogs and cats this weekend at Meet the Breeds! The place was packed with dog lovers, strollers and children. I was really excited and wanted to see all the dogs from A-Z.
Down each aisle, dogs were on display with their handlers being very patient and being pet thousands of times.

For allergy-sensitive pet lovers, its true HEPA filtration captures common household allergens like pet dander, dust mites, pollens and other common household allergens.
