Crufts 2023: Best in Breed stars steal the show in Birmingham

Dogs from Sweden, France and Italy were among the stars to strut their stuff to Crufts Best in Breed glory in Birmingham.

Well over 200 of the Kennel Club's registered breeds descended on the NEC to be judged over the last few days, with the winners of each class keeping their hopes of the coveted Best in Show crown alive.

And with the clock to the big Sunday night unveiling ticking, we picked out some of the best images - both internationally and domestically - from this year's Best in Breed winners.
