Crufts 2026: World’s Largest Dog Show Begins

The world's most famous dog show, Crufts, has begun at Birmingham's NEC, with over 18,600 dogs from around the world participating. The event will run for three days, featuring various competitions and displays, including agility contests, freestyle heelwork to music, and flyball.

The dogs will be judged in their respective categories, such as working, pastoral, and terrier. The audience will also get to watch a display by the West Midlands Police Dog team. Last year, a dog from Italy won the Best in Show title for the first time. This year's event promises to be an exciting one, with doors open from 08:15 GMT to 18:30 GMT until Saturday, and 18:00 GMT on Sunday.
