Meet the Breed at the

Royal Canin & CPE Breeder's village

Get up close and personal with your favourite breeds and their breeders/clubs!

The CPE Breeder's Village is a must-visit activation at the Fall Canadian Pet Expo! This dedicated space is designed for CKC-registered dog breeders to showcase their cherished breeds in a vibrant village of booths. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to meet reputable breeders, learn about different breeds, and get expert advice on responsible pet ownership. Whether your looking to add a family pet companion from a forever re-homing group or looking to speak directly with a breeder or club on the addition process, the Canadian Pet Expo Breeder's Village is your families starting point. The Breeder's Village stage in Hall 2 will be hosted by Ian Lynch as he presents the "Parade of Breeds" both days of the Fall CPE.

🐾

We will have live presentations and our experts will answer any questions you have! Happening both days: September 13 and 14, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
