Calling all dog lovers, there’s another gigantic dog party coming to town.
Do you love Shibas, Akitas, and beautiful kimonos?
As part of Japan week, the 6th edition of the largest Shiba and Akita gathering in Canada, with over 200 dogs participating, is coming to Montreal.
Bonus: a kimono and yukata gathering will take place at the same time.
The unique event, presented by the SDC Côte-des-neiges, provides a unique opportunity for Shiba and Akita pawrents to meet, share, and celebrate—and for fans of the distinctive dog breeds to experience the euphoric feeling that comes from seeing so many of their favourite dogs gathered in one place.
Shiba or Akita pawrents are invited to register using this link.
The event is free, with or without a dog, and with or without a kimono!
