Each year, our community elects new titleholders to represent the heart, energy, and diversity of the pup and handler scene across Europe. These roles celebrate connection, advocacy, and visibility, and this year’s titleholders bring all that and more.
Borksies and awruffsical! I’m Khao — a chaotic husky spreading fun, treats, and just a little destruction.
I’m a gamer, D&D player, and dungeon explorer (in more ways than one 😈).
Pup play is my joy, and I’m here to share that joy with all of you.
Licks and sniffs,
– Khao
Hi, I’m Stefano — an Italian handler with a big heart and a passion for care.
I’ve been active in social causes from local politics to LGBTQIAPK+ rights, and now I’m proud to support our pup community.
Let’s build something beautiful together.
– Stefano
European Pup & Handler is a unifying organisation that brings together pups, handlers, and allies from across Europe under one playful, proud banner. We exist to strengthen the community through visibility, education, empowerment, and ethical celebration. Our mission is rooted in joy, consent, and collective care — honouring the past while building an inclusive future for all forms of pup and pet play.
We believe pup play is as diverse as the people.
Whether you bark, wag, growl, or purr — this is a space where you’re free to be fully, unapologetically you.
We champion self-expression in all forms and honour every unique identity, kink, and journey.
We thrive when everyone feels valued, respected, and protected.
Consent, care, and communication are non-negotiable — and we actively work to build a culture where no one is left behind.
Visibility matters. So does safety. And no one should have to choose between the two.
We learn, play, and grow as a pack.
Whether you’re brand new or long-time leather, we believe in sharing knowledge, laughter, and resources to uplift one another.
Mentorship, mutual aid, and joy are part of how we thrive — together.
