2013 saw the 10th year for this annual event that has been touted as the biggest dog event in North America.

People come from all over to be around other dog lovers, to collect free samples and pick up “much needed” collars, clothes, dog beds, treats, food and toys…There is a doggie fashion show and doggie tricks show… with local celebrities doing the hosting… :)

You can get your picture taken with your favourite four-legged family member… or end up on City T.V. :)

It really is a lovely day out, and amazing how little barking, biting, or upset occurs with so many canine’s about…  :) Below is a picture of Tiffany .. Tiffany is a regular to Woofstock each year and is always a hit, her tiny frame and gentle quite nature draws everyone to her… :)
