With an entry of over 19,000 dogs heading to the NEC, Birmingham from 7 – 10 March, to compete at Crufts 2024, we have reviewed the entry over the four days of the show. To assist exhibitors on all days, a number of breeds will start judging after 9.00am although some will start before 9.00am. We have tried to keep these early starts to the minimum. We would remind all exhibitors to arrive at the show in good time, whatever the scheduled start time, to avoid traffic delays.
