Channel 4 will remain the broadcast home of Crufts until 2029 after agreeing a multi-year extension to its coverage deal with show organisers, The Kennel Club.
The broadcaster, which has shown Crufts since 2010, also announced that independent production company Sunset+Vine will continue to produce its coverage of the show.
Channel 4’s Head of Sports Pete Andrews said: “Crufts is a truly unique event and has a very special place in the hearts of Channel 4 viewers and we’re delighted that Channel 4 will continue our relationship with The Kennel Club and the producers of our Crufts coverage, Sunset+Vine.”

“Channel 4 has provided The Kennel Club with more airtime for Crufts than ever before, helping us to show the important role dogs play in our lives.”
