Crufts Best in Show is the exhilarating climax of the world’s greatest dog show, where the crème de la crème compete for the most prestigious prize in the dog world.

A dog from each of the seven groups – Working, Utility, Hound, Pastoral, Toy, Terrier and Gundog – will take their place in the Best in Show ring, having been awarded the Best of Breed and then Best in Group accolades in previous judging rounds.

These dogs - of all different shapes and sizes - will strut their stuff as they go head to head in the final showdown, where every member of the audience cheers and wills on their favourite. The Kennel Club approved judge will watch the dogs take their lap of honour and mark them for their overall health and condition, coat, character, temperament, movement and how close they are to the Kennel Club Breed Standard.

The Best in Show event programme is on Sunday 11 March 2012 and includes:

• Best In Show, watch the moment of the Crufts Best In Show 2012’s crowning glory
• Friends for Life, which rewards the nation’s unsung dog heroes
• Agility Championships Final
• Terrier and Hound Group judging
• Young Kennel Club Stakes Final
• An unforgettable Heelwork to Music performance
• The Fanfare from the Royal Marines

Crufts is a fantastic celebration of dogs from all over the world. It means so much to so many who love and care for their dogs.
