Waco, Texas — World’s Largest Collectible Dog Museum
While in Texas we spent three days in Dallas. On Friday and Saturday I made plans to try and hit some yard sales, or at the very least some thrift stores. Both days we had drank a little too much the night before and just couldn’t get going in the morning. In fact on Saturday we didn’t leave the house until noon. So, is Dallas a bust? I have no friggin’ idea.
On the three hour drive back to Austin we talked about trying to stop in Waco, but we thought it might be too bible-thumper. Then we saw the sign: Antique Mall and Free Dog Collectibles Museum.
The antique mall itself was all right, but when you are faced with bringing items home in your suitcase that is already bulging … I didn’t buy a single item.
The dog museum was pretty cool with over 7000 items — many of them I would have loved to own.

I have several of those ’50s “spaghetti” poodles – My favorite it a turquoise one with black cat’s-eye glasses
And I love the two Irish Setter pics!

I love the poodle section too. I have to wonder though, now that you’ve seen America’s largest, won’t any other Dog Collectible Museums be a disapointment?

Thanks for this– I wondered if this place still exisited. Their web site seems to be gone, so I was glad you put up pictures! I have a dog collectible site.

Wow I just saw your link to the dog museum, looks a little like my collection actually only it’s Irish Setters and Irish Red & White setters only. I’d really enjoy a trip to this museum, perhaps one day after I retire.
