The Kennel Club of Northern New Jersey is presenting an "AKC Meet the Breeds" exhibit which will offer an opportunity for the public to meet experienced breed owners who can share their expertise pertaining to specific dog breeds and characteristics.  It's a great place to start your search whether it's your first dog or if you are trying to decide between different breeds.  This is how we ended up with a Chinese Crested Powderpuff.  After months of research (since we knew this was going to be a huge commitment and responsibility) we ended up attending this type of event at the Meadowlands Exposition Center.   It was great being able to speak to the different breeders to get first hand information about the breeds we were considering.  Initially, we never considered a Chinese Crested dog because we thought it was a hairless breed, a lot of the books never mentioned the Chinese Crested Powderpuff which does have hair.  Anyway, it was a big decision but a good one and as a result of this event we ended up with an amazing dog, Roxy,  who was everything we hoped for.  So if you are thinking about getting a dog and can't make up your mind or if you simply want to spend a fun day in Hudson County doing something different, you can attend this event on Sunday, March 2nd at the Meadowlands Exposition Center inside the Mill Creek Mall on Route 3 Westbound, 355 Plaza Drive, Secaucus.  Admission:  Adults $10 & Children $5.
