Crufts 2025 Semi Finals – The Results

The Crufts Semi-finals competition was held on the 18th January 2025, alongside the 2024 Dog of the Year Competition, at Forest Oak Farm, Glos. It was run by Paws n Music Association and Canine Freestyle GB in collaboration – a true joint effort which we all enjoyed. The competition included applicants that had qualified for the competition at KC Premier shows held throughout 2024.

There were up to 25 places available in each division – on the day we had 25 entered in HTM and 22 entered in the Freestyle. The top ten scoring teams in each division will go on to compete in the Crufts Finals in March. The standard across the board was excellent – a great showcase of our sport.
