Who won at Crufts 2022? Full list of results and winners, including Best in Show, Utility, Working categories

Crufts returned to the NEC Birmingham for a four day event celebrating dogs from all over the globe.

Organised by the Kennel Club, the annual canine event highlights all the roles that dogs have in our lives, from police dog displays to best in show.

The event has been running since 1891, when it was first set up by the late Charles Cruft.

Unfortunately due to Covid-19, last year’s event was cancelled, but it returned with what was its biggest event yet.

Although the event finished on Sunday (13 March), viewers can still watch all the programming and highlights on Channel 4.

Over 16,000 dogs competed for just seven places in the show’s final, representing each of the individual groups.

In total, 1,843 dogs are said to have attended from overseas, with the Kennel club banning all 51 entries from Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.

Who won Best in Show?

Crufts biggest prize is the coveted Best in Show, which is awarded to the top dog in the final event.

This year’s Best in Show was awarded to Flat Coated Retriever Baxer, who beat the other six finalists.

Baxer had also previously won the top prize in the Gun Dog group earlier in the weekend.

The Flat Coated Retriever sat proudly on the podium with his winner’s rosette in his mouth after being awarded the prize.

His stunned owner, Patrick Oware, described Baxer as “just a fantastic dog” and told host Claire Balding that he “didn’t have any words.”

“I’m really proud of him and it’s just a true credit to his breeders,” he added.

Balding told the audience how Baxer had been “wagging his tail all day”

Mr Oware was seen crying with pride after being awarded the Best in Show prize as he stroked Baxer on the podium.

A Toy Poodle called Waffle was also awarded the reserve dog for Best in Show.
