An essential item at the ready. Crufts is named after its founder, Charles Cruft, who launched the first show in the Royal Agricultural Hall in Islington in 1891

Hair apparent – a dog is prepared for competition. In 1948 Crufts was held at Olympia for the first time. It proved a success, with 84 breeds entered, almost double the number at the first Crufts in 1891

In 2009 Crufts was streamed online for the first time, swiftly becoming the most watched channel on YouTube in the UK

In 1972, during the winter of discontent, Crufts took place under subdued lighting and with a shortened catalogue due to the three-day working week

In 1979, the show moved to Earl’s Court as it had outgrown its former venue at Olympia.
