Dogs of all shapes and sizes have been showing up in style as Crufts returns to Birmingham.
Arriving in onesies, snoods and doggy booties, working dogs from the great dane to the dobermann kicked off the world-famous show on Thursday.
Owner Judith Carruthers said she was in “total shock” at her spaniel taking the top spot.

“Reaching the best in show final is just such an honour, it’s been a great effort and everyone is over the moon.”

Susan Reilly and Boris, her Pyrenean mountain dog, sported matching looks as they arrived at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) on Friday.

Day three of the show on Saturday will see terrier and hound breeds on the main stage, followed by utility and toy breeds, who will close the show on Sunday.
