They apparently don't have taxidermy ("...we're a museum of fine arts.").
They do have:
Pedigree Hall of Fame
the world's largest collection of dog collars
Dog of the Week demonstrations
dogs in needlework
art and literature about dogs
exhibit on working dogs

Anyone out there know of a museum that deals with dogs, especially in their
roles in relationships to humans (e.g., working dogs, hunting dogs, etc.)?
Preferably in continental North America, though I'd like to know of others.
If there can be a museum of noodles, surely there must be one for dogs.
Thanks.
