This year’s theme: “Game of Bones - the Canine Kingdom Rules”

It will be tail-wagging fun as we journey into an imaginary world of canines and castles.  Parading pups and their people will wear ​costumes inspired by noble houses of the Seven Kingdoms.  We expect to see regal kings and queens, magicians, brave knights, rogues, ​lots of daring dragons and a mystical creature or two.  We used Ai to generate some costume theme ideas below, but we can’t wait to see ​the creativity and spirit our guests bring to this spectacle of sword and sorcery.
