Crufts 2024 dead ringers: The owners and visitors at the annual dog competition who look just like the pooches as 150,000 flock to Birmingham NEC for this year’s show
It’s the most prestigious dog show in the world, where people train for months and travel far and wide to show off their puppies
So it’s no wonder that Crufts owners, in some cases, start to look like their dogs.
Every year, more than 150,000 people flock to the NEC arena in Birmingham to celebrate Crufts.
And some look just like their dogs, from long silky hair to matching clothes and facial expressions.
Channel 4 presenter Sophie Morgan posed in the same pose today as an adorable Bichon, while Carol Roberts from Spain posed with Cooper, a Maltese, who was the best of breed – the pair had matching silky hair.
