New Year Dog Party, a festive treat for canines and canine-lovers, will be held at Tokyo Big Sight on Jan. 12 and 13.
The “party” consists of various events, including a fashion show of dogs and their owners like those held annually in New York since 2006 as “Pet Fashion Week NY.” This is the first time such an event will have been staged in Japan.
Here’s some information from today’s Daily Yomiuri newspaper.
JAPAN DOG FESTIVAL 2007: “Living together” is the theme for the Japan Dog Festival 2007, which runs [from today] until Monday at the Pacifico Yokohama conference hall complex in Yokohama. More than 250 dogs, including police dogs and guide dogs, will parade near the venue at 10am Saturday to mark the start of the festival. Organized by the Japan Kennel Club among others, the festival features a dog show with 718 dogs, all champions from other shows. Other featured events include agility trials, an obstacle race for dogs, and a dog show for puppies. Doors open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday.
