Pup Rookie
Pup Rookie, a passionate and vibrant figure in the pet play and bear communities, hails originally from Traverse City, Michigan. Though his journey has taken him across the country—from California to Texas and eventually to Louisville, Kentucky—he still considers Michigan his home. At 46 years old, he uses he/him pronouns and proudly lives in a polyamorous relationship with his partners, Zephran and Thomas.
His introduction to the pet community came through a close friend who was already a pup. Curious and open-minded, Rookie began exploring the lifestyle in 2020, beginning with the purchase of his first pup hood. That simple act marked a transformational moment in his life. Wearing his hood in public gave him a sense of empowerment and self-acceptance that he had long struggled to find. It helped him confront deep-seated insecurities, replacing self-doubt with confidence and resilience.
When in pup headspace, Rookie describes feeling liberated and powerful. For him, it’s a deeply personal and affirming experience, though he acknowledges that pet play varies widely among individuals. Whether it's used for sexual expression or emotional grounding, he encourages newcomers to explore pet headspace safely and gradually, always with trusted support nearby.
Rookie’s platform as North American Pet (NAB Pet) focused on body positivity and inclusive language. Having faced ridicule throughout his life due to his size, he is determined to challenge societal norms about beauty. Whether by proudly going shirtless or speaking out publicly, he encourages others to embrace their bodies unapologetically. His motto is clear: “Everyone is beautiful just the way they are.”
As a titleholder, Rookie also worked to promote the use of inclusive terminology within the pet community, advocating for the broader term "Pet" instead of just "Pup" to ensure all identities—whether ponies, kittens, or otherwise—feel seen and welcomed at events.
Among his proudest accomplishments is overcoming anxiety to step on stage and win the NAB Pet title. Pup Rookie has helped raise a significant amount of money for numerous charities including Advocates for Trans Equality, Kentucky Black Pride Foundation, Southern Indiana Pride, and Haunters Against Hate among many others. Rookie has recently teamed up with Paul Lanner (of Haunters Against Hate) to start the organization Kentucky Bears and Pets, an organization focused on bringing together the bear and pet communities to serve the LGBTQ+ community of Kentucky.
Though his title year is over, Pup Rookie remains a fierce advocate for respect, especially when it comes to correct pronoun usage and gender inclusivity. He believes true community starts with empathy and recognition of others’ identities.
Looking back, Rookie has no regrets—only pride in how far he's come and hope for where the pet and bear communities are heading.

Pup Link
Pup Link (he/him/good boy — and yes, that last one will turn him into putty in your hands!) is the Georgia Pup of 2023 and the proud Alpha of his chosen family, lovingly known as Mutts R Us. As both a playful pup and a passionate leader, Link has become a familiar, wagging presence in the community — always ready to lend a paw, share knowledge, and lift others up.
Over the years, he’s helped judge competitions, coached hopeful titleholders, and inspired many — pups, handlers, and kinksters alike — to step proudly into their own journey. Whether he’s teaching about pup/pet play, mentoring someone chasing a title, or learning from fellow kinksters at events across the country, Pup Link leads with heart, humor, and a whole lot of tail wags.
He’s a pup who knows when to bark loud and when to sit pretty — but above all, he’s here to remind everyone stepping on that stage (or just sniffing around for community): Have fun, enjoy the moment, and most importantly… bark!

Pup Kato
What can be said about this pink pup other than “IT’S PUPPY TIME!!!” Pup Kato is a sweet, loving, goofy, and playful emotional support merle Frenchie. He also identifies as Walt Disney’s other dog that couldn’t make it on the big screen. Kato joined the pup play community 4 years ago where he found his home at Oz Campground with his handlers. When he’s not spending time with his Ohana or at Disney, you can find him either wagging his tail on the dance floor, attending pup events, or even offering a helping paw anyway he can. Kato loves to learn, grow, and expand his knowledge in the kink community, and hopes to share his love for this community with others as well. Awrooooo!!
Judge's Pup
Seamus
Seamus is the kind of pup who’s got more ruff-edges than a chew toy but a soul as soft as a well-loved stuffie. This proud Achillean transman and goodish dog spends his days digging up injustice, burying bad vibes, and wagging his tail at every opportunity to make the world a better place. Formerly Sawmill Leather boy 2024, Seamus knows how to strut his stuff—whether he’s rocking leathers or just his natural fur coat.
When he’s not busy being an activist (or napping in the trails), Seamus can be found sniffing out new adventures, howling his truths, and proving that every underdog has their day. His motto? *"Sit, stay, resist!"*—because even the fluffiest of pups have a fierce bite when it comes to fighting for what’s right. Plus, with a tail that wags for equality and a nose that can sniff out hypocrisy, Seamus is a leader we all could use.
At the end of the day, Seamus is just a big-hearted pup who loves his community, his chosen family, and a well-timed belly rub. Whether he’s barking back at bigots or rolling over for scritches, one thing’s for sure: this good boy is here to stay, paws and all. So, if you see him coming, better have treats ready—because Seamus is always down for a thick meaty stick and a revolution. Bark on!
