This year’s Meet the Breeds show at Javits Center was great, as always, except for the organizers still insisting that people, other than myself, should be allowed in.
I hope you like the pictures, despite the wonky framing. I have to work on that, but it’s very difficult. I get so carried away with the petting and the admiring, I barely remember I’m there to do a job and film.
This is one Irish Wolfhound I did manage to pet.
Interestingly, I noticed that some doggies do not like it when I film too close to their faces (small cellphone, no huge camera or lens). They will turn their faces away, or, rarely, they will even bark. Others have no problem with it, and will shove their cute little noses right into my phone.
This one was really miffed at my filming, and let me know it (21s YT short).

Every one a winner! What a bunch of lovely pups- thank you Ema.

@laura:
Seconded.

If the short haired doggo in the middle is a pinscher or similar breed I am not surprised they looked away. My minpin mix is very standoffish.
Love all the pictures. Thanks.

How bout them Dawgs!

Dogs in distress with bad owners.

The dog in the fourth photo did not want its picture taken!

@eclare: I don’t know breeds well enough but a short haired, muscular dog like that would typically be a guard or used in hunting. Minpins like mine are always on alert, or looking for critters. She’s muscular and doesn’t like sitting in your lap even though she is lapdog size. In other words, not looking to have their picture taken.

So cute!

That one with the sweater and pearls 🤣 🤣 🤩

My daughter has a rescue that she believes (and the rest of us concur) is half Irish wolfie. He is one big, strong dog, although not quite as big as a full-wolfie. He’s a good boy, and loves his mimi (Mrs. SFAW), and has demonstrated his inborn protective streak more than a couple of times.

Are dogs really okay with all the fur in their faces like the one in picture no. 3?
WaterGirl
Pearls! Too funny. Love these pics.

I think one of them is a seal, not a dog, but cute pictures!

Caption contest!

Great pics! Fun way to start the workday!

I notice that all the terriers are real camera whores.
Interesting collection of sort of collies.

Ohio has a whole little industry of rescues saving puppies culled but not killed from Amish puppy mills. My stepson has a cutie who has only two and a half feet. One back leg has no foot, the other has only two toes. He is still a happy little guy.
ema
Thank you all!
@eclare:
I don’t think he even noticed the camera. He was looking in that direction at a treat. (14s YT short)

I believe the hairless dog is a Xoloitzcuintle.

That’s a great collection of good doggies. Ema, I think you’ve got a real good eye for good expressions and pose.
