Proud owner Dale said: “I am absolutely delighted; this is the first time the breed has ever won the group. It’s an incredible moment made even more special as her owner and handler. This means absolutely everything to us. It was a strong group and it’s amazing to win. I know Jen will give it her best show in Best in Show.”

“Crufts celebrates healthy, happy dogs and recognises the special and unique bond between dogs and their owners. Jen is such a lovely dog that clearly loves being in the show ring and has a great relationship with her handler.
“Jen and Dale should be very proud of reaching the Best in Show final – it’s an incredible achievement and not one many get to experience. We wish them all the best for Sunday.”
