The American Kennel Club and the Cat Fancier's Association examined physical and personality characteristics of more than 200 breeds of dogs and cats, and chose counterparts for each member of the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore."

The groups are hoping that their "Dogs of the Jersey Shore" will inspire people to come see the breeds in person at their Meet the Breeds event, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 16 and 17 at the Javits Center in Manhattan.

Entry at the door is $10 for children younger than 12 and $15 for adults.
