If you love dogs, you won’t want to miss Crufts 2024, the world’s largest dog show, happening this March at the NEC Birmingham. Hundreds of dogs from around the world will take part in the various challenges and events of the weekend.

Whilst many of the dogs will only be visible at long distance, whether on TV or from the stands, there will be opportunity to meet some of the pooches involved in this year’s event. These dogs will be at the Discover Dog section of Crufts.
