International Puppy 2014

Rick "Pup Tripp" Hutchings
The kennel door has been left open, and puppies are on the loose! NOW is the time for us to explore, celebrate and join together. I call on pups of all kinds, handlers, supporters, and the curious to consider what puppy play means to us, but also what it means to our brothers and sisters in the broader leather and fetish community. So let’s all come together and show everyone the true meaning and power of PUPPY PRIDE!

Pup Tripp is a 10-year US Navy veteran hailing from Washington DC. He has been active in the DC and Mid-Atlantic area leather and fetish community since 2003. In 2008 he came out as a pup and has been actively involved in promoting the pup community ever since.  Pup Tripp is a co-founder and the current Top Dog of the Mid-Atlantic Kennel Korps as well as a lifebrother and past-president of the DC boys of Leather. Additionally, he is the president of Metro Leather Pride and a representative on the Atlantic Motorcycle Coordinating Council. Pup Tripp is regularly engaged in a number of fundraising events. On several occasions he has been recognized for his service to the community, including the DC boys’ Bryan “Pup” Mullikin Leatherboy of the Year and International Puppy’s 2012 “Good Puppy” awards as well as a being a member of Mama’s Family as “Mama’s Pup Tripp.”


International Puppy 2015

Pup Figaro

Alpha Pup in the Wruff Pack and has been owned by his Daddy since 2008. Figaro is a Border Collie and as such can be found herding the local pups and Handlers to events. After moving from San Francisco to Vancouver Canada, he found that he very much missed the close-knit SF pup community. He got involved with SEA-PAH, founded       VAN-PAH (Vancouver Pups and Handlers).  Named for his involvement in Opera and Classical singing, Figaro enjoys meeting new pups and finding ways to strengthen the pup community. Figaro loves snickerdoodles, scritches, moshing, and sitting with his tongue out.

International Puppy 2015 Pup Figaro and Zak Pup Havok Rittenhouse have been working on a project to address some of the issues that have presented themselves in our communities. Namely the issues of suicide and loneliness/isolation. To that end they are launching Project Touch Base.

Rex Shephard
 

 A Chicagoland native and currently living in the greater Austin, Texas area, he has identified as puppy for at least 15 years and has participated in BDSM play for more than 25. In addition to founding and sponsoring AUS-PAH (Austin Pets and Handers), he is a full member of Discipline Corps and Austin Gears, and an associate member of both North Star Kennel Club and Chicago Hellfire Club. Rex is a strong believer that the puppy and larger kinky communities must be fully inclusive and open to all sexual orientations and gender identities. Rex encourages pups to play and be themselves honestly and openly everywhere, in a manner respectful of all, with a key principle being that puppy play and kink should be fun – and we shouldn’t be doing it if we’re not enjoying it. In addition, he has a passion for those pups in depression, suicide awareness, and PREP education. Rex is also part furry, and an avid SCUBA diver, backpacker, and mountaineer.

International Puppy 2019
  Pup Havok

 A slutty, sex positive St. Bernard who now calls Indianapolis, Indiana home. This boot-licking boofer lives up to his namesake in many different fashions! He has made quite a name for himself in the leather and kink community since joining in 2012. He is a co-founder of Project Touch Base, a full member of the Titans of the Midwest and the GDI Outlaws, the Director of Emotional Support and Squeaky Toys for House Awkward Turtle, and is the recipient of the 2018 Bear Abbot Community Commitment Award, the Director of Education for International Pup and Handler Weekend and the Care Creatures Coordinator for Sin In The City.

He has served proudly as TriState Puppy 2017. As a community educator, kink enthusiast, feminist, collared puppy, and relationship anarchist, and Bootblack Havok is certainly a good place to start if you’re looking to wreak some “havoc” of your own!
