All dogs should be valued, whatever their ancestry, but the purpose-bred dog and the predictability of its breed is to be cherished and preserved. Over 400 dog breeds exist in the world today, but many are at risk of vanishing forever in our lifetime.
~ National Purebred Dog Day
Founded: 2013 by Susi Szeremy, writer and Puli fancier
Purpose: To celebrate the heritage, diversity and predictability of the purpose bred dog through education, and to bring balance to the national dialogue about responsible dog ownership and choice.
National Purebred Dog Day® • May 1 celebrates the heritage, diversity and predictability of the purebred dog. Each breed is a living legacy of the culture that created it for a reason, each breed indelibly etched in that culture’s history just as surely as its music, art, and language.
