Les Pearce and his three-year-old cocker spaniel Fire competed at the world’s largest dog show, Crufts, earlier this month.

After qualifying for the prestigious event last May, Prestwich-born Les took part in the competition for the first time ever.

The pair competed in the agility championship, finishing in second in the initial agility round, and third overall.

This part of competition is open to grade seven dogs, meaning only the most experienced dogs and handlers may take part.

A man and his dog have been recognised for their talent at an internationally-acclaimed competition.

For the first time that anyone can remember, it snowed for the UK’s Crufts annual dog show, the world’s largest. Pawprints dotted pathways outside, while Spaniels, Hungarian Vizslas, Poodles and freshly groomed others arrived well-protected for four gruelling days of pampering interspersed with the occasional leaping and “ringcraft” in the arena.

“You get cliques, you get jealousy, you get arguments. It’s competition, and people do get like that about competition.”

Commerce is what drives Crufts — founded in 1891 by the owner of a biscuit dog brand who wanted to sell more treats — but at its core is a ruthless competition. In a typical year the show brings tens of thousands of pedigrees and their owners together under the same roof, showing for 160,000 live viewers.

Perfectly groomed, obedient and well-behaved: 18,000 dogs and their owners competed for the coveted title of "Best in Show" at the four-day Crufts Dog Show in Birmingham, UK.

More than 19,000 dogs from all around the world took part at Crufts this year at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham with just seven making in the Crufts 2023 Best in Show final.

Four-year-old Orca (Am GCh Kan Trace Very Cheeky Chic) and her handler Javier Gonzalez Mendikote qualified for the final after winning the Gundog group title on Thursday.

Orca is owned by Sabina Zdunić Šinković and Ante Lucin, and handled by Javier Gonzalez Mendikote and her victory was broadcast live on Channel 4 in the UK, watched by millions.

The famous Best in Show trophy was presented by Crufts Show Manager, Vanessa McAlpine, who has been part of the Crufts and Kennel Club team for over 40 years, and will be retiring this year.

“This is the first time the Lagotto Romagnolo has won Crufts. It is a lively and affectionate Italian breed, which is relatively new to the UK. They have a unique talent for truffle hunting, thanks to their acute sense of smell,” Crufts said.

Orca, a Lagotto Romangnolo from Rijeka in Croatia, has won the prestigious Crufts 2023 Best in Show on Sunday at the Birmingham NEC. More than 19,000 dogs from all around the world took part at Crufts this year at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham with just seven making in the Crufts 2023 Best
