It’s the most prestigious dog show in the world, with people training for months and traveling far and wide to show off their dogs.
So it’s no surprise that, in some cases, Crufts owners start to take after their dogs.
More than 150,000 people flock to Birmingham’s NEC Stadium to celebrate Crufts each year.
And some, it seems, take after their dogs, from the long, silky hair to the matching clothing and facial expressions.
Channel 4 presenter Sophie Morgan struck the same pose as an adorable bichon today, while Carol Roberts from Spain posed with Cooper, a Maltese, who was the best of the breed – the pair had matching silky hair .
Here, FEMAIL watches owners and visitors transform into their show dogs…
