The world’s largest dog show is back, with even more talented canines ready to display their skills and abilities to adoring crowds.

Since its inception in 1891, Crufts sees the top dog from each breed group compete for the coveted title of Best in Show – and in 2024, it will once again see proud owners show off their dogs’ show-stopping talents.

Clare Balding is back to present the programme alongside Sophie Morgan, and she is excited to see what the competition has to offer.

“I love getting to know and getting more familiar with the flyball teams, which the afternoon shows focus on,” Blading said in a Q&A.

“This year we’ve got a feature on dogs for autism, and I’m looking forward to learning a bit more about [that].”

So, where is all the action taking place? Read on for everything you need to know about where Crufts is in 2024.
