This weekend, AKC is hosting an event in San Diego to celebrate and promote dogs.  The AKC Meet the Breeds event is an opportunity for the public to interact with numerous breeds, meet dog experts, and learn about dog ownership and finding the right dog for their family.  

Local and state California lawmakers have signed on as Honorary Chairs to this event in a show of support for the event and the desire to promote responsible dog ownership in their communities.  Some also shared photos with us of them with their dogs, which will be posted on AKC social media.  

View the full list of Honorary Chairs.  If you are a constituent, please consider reaching out and thanking them.  Let them know you are a purebred dog owner/breeder in their district.  Thank them for being an Honorary Chair for AKC Meet the Breeds and let them know you join them in wanting to promote responsible dog ownership in their district.  

San Diego is the first of several cities hosting Meet the Breeds events this year.  For more information, visit www.akc.org/meetthebreeds
