• 2nd July 2013 - After our 3rd walk at Pride, we decided that the UK needed a better way of connecting pups together, so PuppyPride.co.uk was registered and a website was started. At the start the website only had events, blogs, profiles, and a messaging sytem!

We've done a lot in the first 5 years, but always had the goal of bringing pups together and to encouraging them to enjoy themselves.

Let's see what the next 5 years will bring!
