The greatest dog show is coming back to Birmingham’s NEC soon. The world famous event is a great way to get closer to canines.
If you love dogs - Crufts 2023 is not to be missed. The event by the Kennel Club - which is celebrating its 150th anniversary - is returning from 9 to March - and with it will come pooches of all shapes and sizes and many breeds of pure joy.
One of the categories at the dog show is the Utility group and the winner of the group gets to be a finalist for the Best in Show group. Toy Poodles compete in the Utility group to get ahead to the next round.
Last year, Waffle, a Toy Poodle from Preston, Lancashire, won the Utility Group title at Crufts 2022 but couldn’t take the Best in Show title. However, it is important to remember that all the dogs are winners of our hearts.
These Poodles have been groomed carefully and lovingly by their owners to prim them up for the dog show. Here are eight photos from the prettiest poodles at Crufts 2022 for you to enjoy:
