Think you have to wait until the start of the Westminster Dog Show on Monday to get your fix of cute canines? Then we have a surprise for you!
This Saturday, the American Kennel Club hosts its sixth year of Meet the Breeds, a hands-on event where dog lovers can meet and interact with more than 150 breeds. It’s happening from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Pier 92 in New York City and this year, the event is part of Westminster Week. If you are in town, tickets for Meet the Breeds are $20 for adults in advance ($25 at the door) and $10 for children under 12.
In addition to seeing the delightful booths celebrating the fascinating heritage of each breed, we can’t wait to get a glimpse of the Coton de Tulear and Wirehaired Vizsla, the two dog breeds competing for the first time at Westminster this year.
Check out this video we filmed a couple of years ago to get a taste of the action.
Those who attended in the past to see the cats may be disappointed to hear that there won’t be any cat breeds at this year’s event. But don’t worry — you can relive the feline fun with the photo gallery below.
