Who needs a valentine when you have hundreds of dogs?

For the sixth year, the American Kennel Club's Meet the Breeds event gave canine enthusiasts of all ages and species a chance to interact with more than a hundred breeds.

AKC teamed up with Westminster this year, so Saturday was the kickoff to Westminster Week. The event coincided with the Masters Agility Championship, a new portion of Westminster that challenges the most highly skilled dogs in the world.
