Special for October 20th: Howl-o-ween fun!

Wear your costumes and enjoy dog friendly, spooky season fun!

Get to know a dog breed at the AKC Museum of the Dog!
 
Each month we are highlighting one of the 200 recognized breeds in the American Kennel Club. You’ll learn the history of the breed as well as key characteristics of their anatomy and coat that help them meet the standard. Activities include art-making, stories and books, a collectable breed fact sheet, and an opportunity to meet a live dog. 

October's Breed Spotlight: Poodle

A breed available in three varieties, Standard, Minature, and Toy, the poodle is an elegant dog that makes an excellent pet. At dog shows, Poodles are usually seen in the elaborate Continental clip. Most pet owners prefer the simpler Sporting clip, in which the coat is shorn to follow the outline of the squarely built, smoothly muscled body.  Forget any preconceived notions about Poodles you may have: Poodles are eager, athletic, and wickedly smart dogs of remarkable versatility. 

This event is free for Members and included with General Admission.
