Can I enter my dog in Crufts 2024?
The application process for 2024 is officially closed.
However, applications for 2025 are open and you can apply on the Crufts website.
There is certain criteria your dog must reach to be entered into the legendary Crufts competition.
The most important thing is that your dog is Kennel Club registered - that is a record of your puppy being born.
Owners receive Registration Certificate with micro chip number and DNA tests for the dog.
If you wanted to go one step further you can get a Pedigree Certificate which has all the details of the breed, a pedigree name and five generations of your dog's ancestors.
If your dog is not Kennel Club registered you can enter with an authority to compete number (ATC) but you need to apply for this by the December before Crufts begins.
