Last weekend, hundreds of Corgis, Dachshunds, Bulldogs, and other “stumpy” dogs descended upon the Alameda County Fairgrounds for a celebration of short-statured dogs at StumpyCon. Here’s some highlights.
Owners decked their dogs out in all kinds of gear. Odesza, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, is seen rocking some dog sunglasses.
Corgis can have long coats, like the one pictured. If you want a Husky that cannot counter-surf, this is the dog for you.
Pickles, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, poses in the afternoon sun. Many corgis are pros at posing for photos, as their owners love to share pictures of them on social media.
The day buzzed with excitement as all kinds of fun events were happening throughout the day.
Rex, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, flopped down in the middle of the sidewalk. Those short legs can only take you so far!
The owners of the Squeaky and Co. booth pose with their irresistably cute dog accessories. I even gave in to a Pocky toy for my dog!
WoofBoard, one of the most unique stands present at StumpyCon, was selling delicious “Barkuterie” boards, with a variety of fun-shaped dog treats.
Check out these StumpyConners’ custom t-shirts, adorned with their corgi’s name and portrait. That’s fetching!
Kai poses on a podium. Not sure what he won, but he sure looks thrilled to be there!
Kai, like thousands of other dogs present, has an Instagram account dedicated to his adventures and outfits. Check it out at @liru_kai.
An obstacle course offered a challenge for all dogs to try at StumpyCon. Watching owners attempt to coax their stubborn-natured dogs, especially the corgis and dachshunds, to try and tackle the course gave many attendees a laugh.
“Can I pet your dog?” was one of the most repeated phrases at Stumpycon, along with “awwww!”
If you didn’t bring a stumpy dog, you could certainly bring one home (in plushie form).
