More than 24,000 dogs from 220 different breeds take part in Crufts 2024, with the event culminating in the Best in Show trophy, awarded on Sunday night.
Colourful coats, snazzy scarves and trendy leg warmers were all the rage as the contestants gathered for this year's Crufts dog show.
The furry competitors arrived at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham with wagging tails and eager faces on Thursday, braving a chilly start to the morning on the first day of the contest. One poodle wore a bright pink chunky scarf around its neck while another opted for a fuzzy green coat paired with pink hair accessories to wow the judges with a pop of colour.
Three Italian greyhounds wore bright coats to keep out the cold, while others donned rainbow-patterned leg warmers. This year, the annual competition will see thousands of dogs participate in a variety of challenges and presentations in a bid to take home a trophy.
The first day of the show will include a selection of agility and jumping tasks, a heelwork to music competition, obedience challenges, and a West Midlands police dog display. The jam-packed day will also include the judging of a variety of dog breeds, including a miniature schnauzer, an English toy terrier, a Japanese spitz and a chow chow.
