Play with some dogs at the Pat-A-Pooch section, learn what breed of dog will suit your home and lifestyle if you plan on adopting a furry friend or visit one of the many exhibitors who will be at the show offering the latest in products and services for dogs.

For many reasons however, visitors won’t be able to bring their own dogs to the show but rest assured, there will be plenty of furry companions to keep you company at the show.
