This year’s Crufts Dog Show takes place from March 5-8 at the NEC Birmingham, with hundreds of dogs (and owners) set to try and impress the judges.

Introduced in 1928, the first winner was a Greyhound called Primley Sceptre, owned by Herbert Whitley, who found further fame after founding Devon’s Paignton Zoo.
