Join the AKC in celebrating the 6th annual AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day, a FREE event educating pet owners about the joys and responsibilities of canine ownership. Open to all dog enthusiasts, this event will include dozens of AKC Meet the Breeds® booths with informational displays about various AKC breeds. Each breed will have a booth staffed with experts and present different ages/ varieties of their breed for the public to meet! We will have an activity ring with agility and obedience demonstrations, and lively entertainment. Free AKC Canine Good Citizen® testing will be available on a first come, first served basis. There will be discounted microchipping, giveaways and so much more!
