Crufts 2026 Best in Show in Pictures: Here are 11 amazing photos of Bruin the adorable Clumber Spaniel triumphing at the world's biggest dog show

The biggest prize in the world of dog shows was presented yesterday.

A Clumber Spaniel called Bruin was crowned top dog at Crufts yesterday (Sunday, March 9).

He beat six other group-winning finalists to the title - Viking the Tibetan Mastiff (working), Hazel the Welsh Corgi (pastoral), Freddie the Lakeland Terrier (terrier), Megan the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (hound), Dublin the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (toy), Spencer the Miniature Schnauzer (utility), and Dzhozias Viking the Tibetan Mastiff (working).

Owner Lee Cox paid tribute to his winning pet in an emotional acceptance speech, saying: "Just amazing, I can't believe it. It's just wonderful for this breed. He's a dog of a lifetime...he's just wonderful. He's a bit of a diva, likes his own way, very chilled but never lets me down."

They took home the Kendall Memorial Trophy and a £200 cash prize in front of a cheering crowd, with Megan the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen named Reserve Best in Show.

Here are 11 pictures of the winner enjoying his moment.
