International Puppy 2019-2022
Pup Sirius

He/Him
Pup Sirius (He/Him) started his title work as Northeast (USA) Puppy 2019, before competing to become IPTC International Puppy 2019 which due to Covid extended through 2022. He has been a member of the pet play community for many years and has had the privilege of working with several organizations to offer safe spaces to LGBTQ+ youth and community members throughout his travels. Pup Sirius is a Producer for the Northeast Puppy and Handler contest, Producer of Communikink (educational kink workshop), and an Educator on Puppy Headspace. He is very passionate about pup and pet play and sharing his experience so it can help everyone in their daily lives. His biggest reward comes from the numerous people he has helped along their path to find their safe space and place without our great community. When they succeed and pass along words of thanks, this is what makes his tail wag. He also works to ensure the message in pup and pet play that “All are Welcome” is barked far and wide. A friendly and mischievous pup, who loves many types of fetish, like bondage, electro, impact, edging, and wax play. While he is an Alpha Pup, he will submit to other Alphas if they can pin him down, so you better restrain him well. You will usually find him barking all over his home region of Boston, MA USA, and traveling the world greeting all the pups he can.

Pup Kase

He/him/his
Pup Kase is a human puppy that identifies as a red & white Irish setter. He began his journey in 1990 with his first contract relationship. During that time he was kept as a human beast. His time as a human beast transitioned with the times into being a human puppy. He is IPTC International Puppy 2018 and Heart of The South Leather Puppy 2018. Being an innate puppy he lives full time in the lifestyle, however, realizing that society requires times of discretion and behavior modifications. Pup Kase is the Alpha for the League of Atlanta Pups as well as his own pack. He lives with his partner of 20 years as well as his beta of 5 years. He is part of a polyamorous family that consists of a two part household, yes there is a diagram if needed. He is active in not only the puppy community, but in the greater kink/fetish/leather community as well. Pup Kase identifies as a power switch and regularly says that he is the only masochist that can handle his sadism. He has lived between the USA, Canada, and Europe making his particular style of play uniquely his. Pup Kase makes it a point to unify our diverse community. Attending events of all types almost every weekend, he strives to start the dialogue of how we can all coexist as our own sub-cultures and yet remain a strong and focused voice. Let us not forget he is a puppy though. He does very well on task, however, if he is left unattended his mischievous side will take over. If you lose him, just check the nearest cage where he may have locked himself in with your belongings or maybe even the nearest bar drinking other peoples drinks.
