Crufts has finished for another year - and the Best In Show for 2020 has been revealed.

Around 26,000 dogs took part in the four-day event, including just over 3,000 from overseas.

Numbers of overseas entries were down this year because of uncertainties over the effects of Brexit on pet travel.

And it's said that the event could be in for its lowest ever turnout amid fears over coronavirus - though the Kennel Club introduced extra measures to control the spread of infection.

Judging of the various groups produced seven finalists to take part in Best In Show, the grand finale of the event.

This year's Best In Show was won by a wire-haired dachshund called Silvae Trademark, known as Maisie at home.

The dog's triumph will almost certainly be remembered for one notable reason.

As owner Kim McCalmont led Maisie on a victory lap of the arena, the cute little dog stopped to poop - which had officials, commentators and spectators roaring with laughter.

Mrs McCalmont kept her composure and whipped out a plastic bag to clean up.

After her dog was chosen as winner, Mrs McCalmont told Crufts presenter Clare Balding: "It is pretty stunning, it is the sort of thing you dream of."

Clare Balding later tweeted: “I admire #Maisie so much to have been able to move well enough to win Best in Show at #Crufts with such a big load inside her little tummy. What a star!”

A look back at the 2019 winners

A papillon known as Planet Waves Forever Young Daydream - and known at home as Dylan the Villain - won the trophy at Crufts 2019.

According to the Kennel Club the papillon's name, which means butterfly in French, comes from its "well-feathered alert ears" which resemble the insect's wings.

The public favourite, Dave the Boxer, from Banbury, lost out in the grand finale.

Runner-up in Best In Show was a basset griffon vendeen (petit) called Magic Mike. from Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
