    Come join us for a day (or two) of dog loving fun at the Javit’s center in NYC. The Pug Dog Club of Greater New York will be hosting a table at the event both Saturday and Sunday to help educate the public about our favorite breed, the pug. This event will include more than 150 breeds for the public to discover and learn about. There will also be fun events and shows for education and entertainment.

  • Pug Fun Day Cancelled

    event flyer

    Due to the extremely high temperatures predicted for our Pug Fun Day event tomorrow (6/22) and even the following date, (6/29); we have decided to cancel in order to protect our Pugs from overexposure to the high temperatures and risk of overheating. Keeping everyone safe is our priority right now. 

    Pugs, which are Brachycephalic breeds, are highly susceptible to high temperatures and should not be exposed to them for extended periods of time. 

    Please stay safe indoors during this heat wave and make sure to have plenty of water available. 

    We will be moving the event to September with expectations that the weather will be more Pug-friendly. (Dates will be confirmed soon.) We look forward to seeing everyone for a fun, safe, and social day full of pug shenanigans then. 

    Best,
