We are sure this year will be no exception. We can think of no better place to showcase pedigree dogs and the work done by breeders to promote their breeds and stockmanship.”

Sarah White, Breeder Channel Manager at Agria Pet Insurance, added: “We all know that we have been through a couple of tough years due to the pandemic. It is testament to how wonderful this competition is that it was back in full swing with some new faces and waggy tails competing in 2021. Despite everything going on in the world, the competition is a feel-good, fun way to celebrate and champion all that Kennel Club pedigree dog breeders represent. We send our thanks to all the breeders who took part. Now the final is upon us and it promises to be very exciting. The very best of luck to everyone competing. See you in the big ring!”
