Crufts is a must-see in every dog-lovers calendar. Since 1891 the Kennel Club has put on the dog show, which is the biggest event of its kind in the world, with pooches competing in competitions ranging from ‘agility’ (an obstacle course) and ‘obedience’ (obeying commands) to the big gong ‘best in show’.
This year’s Crufts took place at Birmingham’s NEC on March 5-8, with over 18,000 dogs taking part. And, as always, there was something for every canine enthusiast. Poodles showing off inch-perfect obstacle manoeuvres? Tick. A Jack Russell let loose on the arena? That, too. What about ultra-fancy doggos, the most luxuriously pampered hounds you’ve ever seen? Well, Time Out’s got plenty of that below.
This year photographer Chris Bethell was at the NEC to document Crufts’ grandest dogs – here were the highlights.
