United Kingdom: behind the scenes of Crufts, the largest dog show in the world

There are more than 27,000 four-legged participants. Crufts is the largest dog show in the world. For 132 years, masters have flocked to Birmingham (United Kingdom) to show that their dog is the most beautiful. Charles Pissavy came specially from Dordogne with his Cavaliers King Charles. “For us, it is truly an honor to qualify for Crufts. There’s no stake, no money, there’s nothing behind it, it’s really prestige“, he assures.

Dogs have the right to a preparation worthy of a hair salon, with the same tools as their master. In the arenas are also played the world championships of women’s discipline. The ball race relays are broadcast and commented on by excited presenters. The dogs of Shannon Springford, 23, collect medals in agility trials. The professional coach has been coming every year since she was seven years old. When she is not at the competition, she trains her dogs and those of others.
