Meet The Breeds has gained momentum year by year since its move to the Javits Center. I anticipated big crowds for the weekend’s extravaganza. It is by far the most popular dog-related event in NYC.

This should give you an idea of its local popularity. Subway track maintenance is a routine aspect of weekend travel around here. Typically, an MTA guy is on the platform loudly announcing alternate choices for big ticket destinations…Grand Concourse, Times Square, etc. Today, his single announcement consisted of various routes to the dog show. And that was way back in Queens.

Meet The Breeds shares space with presumably more prominent events this weekend, but nobody was lining up for the boat show on the main mezzanine when all those dogs were downstairs waiting to be petted. MTB 2024 kicked off at 9 AM and by 10 the place was packed. Not that there was anything special or new this year–it is simply a solid gold blueprint that works.

Purebred dogs provide an incredible menagerie of dazzling choices; there literally is a breed to suit every taste and lifestyle. The problem is the general public is continually surprised by this old news. For instance, I turned the corner of the Norbottenspets display (breeds are arranged alphabetically) and found a delightful side-by-side contrast of Peruvian Inca Orchids and Old English Sheepdogs. Needless to say the spectators didn’t know what to do, say, or pet first. Stunned and delighted sums it up.
