• 12pm until end: Meet The Breed - show your breed Want to show us your purebred dog or mixed breed (like a Labraschnoodle or Chorkie)? Bring it up! We’ll show your dog to everybody and talk about your breed’s specifics, so that people can get a good picture of the temperament as well. And if you don’t know what breed/mix of breeds your dog is, let’s guess!
