This weekend I popped along to Primrose Hill with my puppy Snoop to show my support for Pup Aid, which is a dog festival set up in order to raise awareness against puppy farming.
Lots of people take advantage of man's love for puppies and import them from overseas (with about 60% dying from poor conditions on the way) or breed ill kept dogs creating sickly puppies. Having just bought a puppy myself, this is something I feel very strongly about so I wanted to head down to show my support. You can read more about puppy farming here.
I went along with my little man Snoop, and slightly bigger man, my friend Matt Johnson.
We met Pup Aid's founder Marc the Vet, judged some dog shows (I didn't enter Snoop), and had a lovely time walking around and educating ourselves on the different charities and rescue companies, as well as staring at all the weird and wonderful things people buy for their dogs - including cottages! Yup! I said cottages!
My best dressed dog
The tiniest Chihuahua I've ever seen - it's called a Chiweenie which is a Chihuahua crossed with a toy Daschund.

I also announced raffle winners for my local pet shop (who I would recommend whole heartedly), Nutts 4 Mutts - they are based in West Hampstead.

Afterwards we took Snoop up to the top of the hill and chilled.

What a lovely Saturday. To find out more about the day and the incredible things Marc is trying to achieve you can visit the pupaid website.
There'll be lots more puppy posts coming soon, so until next time ... X
