AKC Meet the Breed
February 7 - 8, 2026
New York City, New York
From Affenpinschers to the Yorkshire Terrier and everything in between, AKC Meet the Breeds® gives pet lovers the unique opportunity to meet and play with more than 150 different dog and cat breeds in booths individually decorated to depict each breed’s country of origin, historical purpose/function, and attributes as a family pet, all while learning about responsible pet ownership and which breeds may be right for them.
Otterhound owners are welcome to join us for any portion of the open hours of the show between 9a and 4p on Saturday and/or Sunday. Otterhounds must be calm in large crowds and open to meeting LOTS of people. This is a VERY crowded and busy event, but if you and your OHs have the demeanor to handle providing education, ambassadorship and friendliness to a whole bunch of strangers who are excited to meet an OH for the first time, please join us!!
