Dogs wearing colourful coats and scarves descend on Birmingham for Crufts 2024
The international dog show is taking place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham.
Dogs wearing colourful coats, scarves and leg warmers have descended on the city of Birmingham for the start of this year’s Crufts.
The furry competitors arrived at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) with wagging tails and eager faces on Thursday, braving a chilly start to the morning on the first day of the contest.
One poodle wore a bright pink chunky scarf around its neck while another opted for a fuzzy green coat paired with pink hair accessories to wow the judges with a pop of colour.
Running from March 7-10 this year, the annual competition will see thousands of dogs take part in a wide variety of challenges and presentations in a bid to take home the trophy.
The jam-packed day will also include the judging of a variety of dog breeds, including a miniature schnauzer, an English toy terrier, a Japanese spitz and a chow chow.
