Now in its 14th year, the international contest received almost 7,000 entries from more than 70 countries, including Brazil, Canada, America, China, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.

Rosemary Smart, Kennel Club chief executive, said: “The quality of entries we received this year was very high and all of the judges were thoroughly impressed with all of the entries.

“As such, it has been a tough selection process but the winning images are truly remarkable and do a wonderful job of displaying the dogs and their individual characteristics.”

Here we bring you some of the snappiest snaps . . .
