International Puppy & Trainer Conference

Cosmo Jetson - Executive Director

While barry's leather journey began in the summer of 1992, his puppy journey started in 2000 by bonding with a certain special pup, patrick chees, founder of IPC/IPTC (International Puppy Contest, now known as the International Puppy & Trainer Conference). 

patrick helped barry find his inner pup and since then, barry has helped with IPC/IPTC at all but one year.  He's been a Kennel Master, a judge, a presenter, a co-producer, and now Executive Director.

Barry was honored with the title of Mr. Lone Star 2002-2004 by the Texas Conference of Clubs (TCC) even after going out during the Jock part of the competition in complete puppy mode with collar, leash, a tail, and on all fours barking!

Most people have known him as boy barry in Houston for many years and his work with clubs and functions to raise money for HIV/AIDS and children's charities. Now, he resides in Dallas, Texas with his partner in their Oak Cliff home.

Vic Silverpaw - Assistant Director

Vic is a young pup who has always had a canine spirit and who sought out the kink community soon after turning eighteen.  His Leather home is in Dallas, where the National Leather Association - Dallas has been fundamental in the development of his identity as a Leatherboy and where the group PupOut (founded in Dallas) has provided him a means to develop his pup self.  His BDSM interests lie in intense, edgy, passionate play where he can be just as much sadist as masochist and where a wolfish identity takes the place of the light-hearted pup.  He is a teacher at heart and has begun a path of educating about sexuality both within the kink community and outside of it, and he is pursuing a formal education that will aid him in his teaching goals.
