Crufts 2024 is your dream come true if you are a canine enthusiast! It’s an occasion to watch the finest dogs in the world exhibit their abilities in high-speed events such as agility and flyball. Here’s all the information you need to know, including the Crufts 2024 dates and judges, in addition to how to watch and buy tickets.
When are the Crufts 2024 dates?
The Kennel Club’s Crufts 2024 event — marking its 30th anniversary — is slated for March 7-10 at the NEC Birmingham.
The dog show will feature over 200 unique dog breeds participating in a range of competitions. This includes agility, heelwork to music, flyball, and obedience.
The Scruffts final, a part of the event, will host dogs from all over the nation who’ve earned their place throughout the year, all competing for the “Top Dog” title. On Sunday evening, one among the five finalists will be announced as the winner of The Kennel Club Hero Dog Award — as chosen by popular vote.
Following four days of intense competition, one lucky Crufts participant will walk away with the coveted “Best in Show” trophy. The honor was bagged by Orca, the Lagotto Romagnolo, whose ever-wagging tail won hearts in 2023.
Who are the Crufts 2024 Judges?
The judging team for Crufts 2024 consists of Richard MacNicol, Gilly Nickols, and Alan Meldrum. In addition, Miss A E Ingram has been selected as the “Best in Show” judge.
