You are invited to showcase your breed at the NYS Canine Expo 2026 Meet the Breeds event!!!
All AKC and AKC PAL registered breeds are encouraged to participate.

This year each breed will have its own booth, which will include a 6-foot table and two chairs. The booths will be separated by pipe and drape. The space will be approximately 8 x 8 feet with beautiful brick flooring.

Participants are asked to:

Come prepared to educate visitors about your breed and share information about your breeding program if applicable.
Bring photos, banners, trophies, props and anything you would like to share about your breed.
Bring crates, food, water, and anything else your pup may need.
Have your pup groomed as you like before coming to the Fair Grounds, as there will be NO GROOMING in the Meet the Breeds building.
Understand that most visitors will have their own pets with them. It’s important for all concerned that dogs are comfortable being around lots of people and other dogs.

Participants will receive:

One FREE entry ticket, and one helper ticket priced at $10.
One reduced Camping fee for presenter, to be published January 1.
A chance to show off your breed and have an amazing day!!!

We will fill time slots on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a limit of two dogs per owner. Your time slot will be confirmed via email within a 48-hour period.
