Solihull local hero and dog-showing star Melanie Raymond admitted the nerves ‘melted away’ when she stepped onto the green carpet to grab Best in Show Crufts glory with Australian Shepherd Viking.
The 46-year-old, who lives less than five miles away from the NEC in Birmingham, trumped more than 18,000 showing dogs who competed across four spectacular days in the Midlands.
Three-year-old Viking was awarded the dog show’s top honour by judge Ann Ingram after trumping every canine in the Pastoral Group on Saturday.
Pressure was mounting on pre-event favourite, co-owned by Raymond, John Shaw and Kerry Kirtley but the winning handler insisted he kept his cool to come out on top. Subscribe to Crufts: bit.ly/CruftsSub
