Who won the main event at the premier dog event in the United Kingdom? We have Crufts 2020 results.

The Crufts 2020 results are in after the four-day dog event at the National Exhibition Centre near Birmingham, England, wrapped up on Sunday, March 8.

Which dog won Best in Show in the main event in the conformation ring? (We’ll get to that in a second.)

The event also included various agility competitions, including the British Open and the Crufts Agility Championships, and a flyball tournament.

While dog shows sanctioned by The Kennel Club of England mostly follow the same format as the American Kennel Club, there are some differences where breeds are classified, and the KCE recognizes about 220 breeds compared to the AKC’s 195.

There are still seven groups, but the Sporting Group is called instead the Gundog Group, the Herding Group is called the Pastoral Group, and the Non-Sporting Group is called the Utility Group.

There, now onto the Crufts 2020 results…

Gundog Group

The winner of the Gundog Group was a female Irish Setter with the official name of SH CH/IR SH CH Gwendariff Coco Nut Cream CW’18.

Rounding out the ribbons were a Lagatto Romagnolo as Reserve Best of Group, a Cocker Spaniel in third and a Gordon Setter in fourth.

Hound Group

The winner of the Hound Group was a female Wire-Haired Dachshund with the official name of CH Silvae Trademark.

Winning Reserve Best of Group was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, with a Basset Hound in third and a Mini Smooth Dachshund in fourth.

Pastoral Group

The winner of the Pastoral Group was an Old English Sheepdog named SK/RO CH Bottom Shaker the Greatest Picture JWW’18.

The rest of the placements were an Australian Shepherd for Reserve Best of Group, a Samoyed in third and and a Shetland Sheepdog in fourth.

Toy Group

The Toy Group was captured by a Bichon Friese named CH Regina Bichon You Rock My World at Pamplona (IMP ESP). Despite the “Regina” part of the name (a female form of “queen” from Latin), he is a male dog.

Utility Group

The winner of the Utility Group was a Miniature Poodle named CH Minarets Best Kept Secret.

Also placing here were a Rottweiler, a Tibetan Mastiff and a Doberman, in that order.

Best in Show

The title of Best in Show at Crufts 2020 came down to the seven group winners, with the Miniature Poodle earning Reserve Best in Show, while the overall top prize went to the Doxie.

There you have the Crufts 2020 results – congratulations to all the dogs who earned placements and group wins.
