Pooches and kitties on parade

Meet the breeds at this year’s fifth annual cats and dogs show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Sept. 28 and 29.

The American Kennel Club’s Meet the Breeds is a perfect way for children to learn all about the needs of taking care of a pet, and parents to discover which type of pet is best for their living environment and circumstances.

From Birman cats to Cairn Terriers, the event hosts hundreds of canines and felines for you to get to know.

Families get to enjoy demonstrations and watch the pooches and cats race against the clock in agility contests, or watch the pets show off their flyball and frisbee skills, and then watch law-enforcement K 9s in action. There will be plenty of unique pet items to be purchased, and lots of fun activities for children.

American Kennel Club’s Meet the Breeds on Sept. 28 and 29 from 10 am to 5 pm. Tickets are $15, $10 children under 12.

Jacob K. Javits Convention Center [655 W. 34th St. at 11th Avenue in Midtown, www.MeetTheBreeds.com].
