A dog and its owner have been crowned Crufts ABC agility champions.
Bebe, a working cocker spaniel, and Michael Green from Southampton, won The Kennel Club Medium ABC (Anything But Collie) agility competition at Crufts on March 7.
The final was sponsored by YuMOVE and saw eight medium dogs, other than border collies and working sheepdogs, competing for the top spot after all qualifying from the semi-finals at The International Horse Show in December, 2024.
