Crufts Dog ShowCrufts bills itself as the world's greatest dog show, and they may well be right.

It is by far the largest - and arguably the most watched in Britain, joined by equally enthusiastic "dog people" in 31 other countries - from which favorite dogs compete for the title of Crufts top dog each year.

The competition, which annually takes place in March, was almost single-handedly begun in 1891 by dog aficionado Charles Cruft. Upon his death, Cruft's widow continued to produce the show until 1948, when the first Crufts competition came under Kennel Club auspices. Thereafter, the show grew in stature year by year as it moved to London, and then to its present home in Birmingham.

Crufts 2010

In 2010, Crufts will be held from March 11 - 14 at the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre, featuring 180 different breeds competing in the ultimate Best in Show competition on the 14th (coinciding this year with Mothering Sunday in the UK). Tickets go on sale online October 5, 2009.

Those without tickets will still be in luck - as 2010 also marks an increase of Crufts television coverage, with cable channel More 4 extending it's "Best in Show" presentation to include an hour long programme from Thursday to Saturday, and a two-hour special on Sunday.
