In the competitive world of Dog Shows is a class of single women whose dogs provide a vehicle for them to compete among other like-minded Doggie Mamma’s. Their dogs are their most intimate companions who they love, nurture, cherish and adore. Treating their canine companions like spoiled children, they are ultimate stage moms who spend their time and money, clothing and accessorizing their cherished dogs and participating in doggie fashion shows and fund raisers. Ultimately these Doggie Mammas have also found community among other dog women, establishing an identity and place within the complex social networks of New York City.
