Crufts is back, with 'The World's Greatest Dog Show' attracting scores of dog lovers and owners to The NEC Birmingham for four days of four-legged fun. Every year, people across the world enjoy watching the action from the comfort of their own homes as all of the main arena and obedience ring happenings are televised on Channel 4 and YouTube.
Spearheading the televised Crufts operations is Clare Balding, who will be returning to the NEC for her thirteenth year of broadcasting after last year's event was cancelled. Crufts 2021 was postponed to July due to restrictions in March, but The Kennel Club then announced it would not be going ahead in the summer.
Clare, who has been very vocal about her love of dogs over the years, has been the broadcasting face of many major sporting events. From Wimbledon to the Olympics, you'd be hard pushed to find someone who has not watched a sporting occasion hosted by Clare.
