Giant Schnauzer wins Crufts

A giant schnauzer took the honours when he was named best in show at Crufts.

The schnauzer called Philippe had previously made it to the finals twice before.

Owner Kevin Cullen, of St Leonards, East Sussex, said his dog had never let him down. "I cannot believe it. It means the world to me," he said.

Organisers said a record 160,000 people had attended the four-day event, now in its 117th year, at Birmingham's NEC.
