We will be updating the page in the run up to Crufts 2016 with facts, a quiz and all the other woofs and barks you need to know about the BIGGEST and BEST dog show on Earth!
Although the Royals have not often been seen at Crufts, in the past they have played a huge part in the growth and rise of the show and showing, as Charles Cruft made sure to gain press coverage through their presence.
