An Australian shepherd named Viking has been crowned Best in Show at the 2024 Crufts dog competition in Birmingham, England. The three-year-old canine — co-owned by Melanie Raymand, John Shaw and Kerry Kirtley — beat more than 19,000 other dogs from around the world to claim the show’s most coveted title. “Pinch me! This is everyone’s dream. Crufts is the competition we all want to win!” Ms Raymand, who was Viking’s handler at the show, said.

“My grandma started showing with Beagles and I feel like I’ve accomplished something she never managed. I’m hoping she is looking down on me.” Crufts show manager Helen Kerfoot congratulated the pair for ending this year’s competition “on a real high”. “It has been fantastic to watch their strong relationship together in the ring, and they are very deserving winners,” she said.

A Jack Russell terrier named Zen, from Japan, was named the Reserve Best in Show. The other five finalists were: Elton, a French bulldog; Raffa, a papillon; Hendricks, a weimaraner; Neville, a Leonberger; and Getme, a grand basset griffon vendeen. “All of the dogs and their owners and handlers should be incredibly proud to have taken part in such a momentous final,” Ms Kerfoot said. “It really is an incredible achievement, and one we are sure they’ll treasure for years to come.”
