If you’ve always thought your handsome hound had a shot at winning big at Crufts, now is your chance to find out.
The Kennel Club, the organisation behind the prestigious event, has launched an online dog show for pet owners stuck indoors during lockdown.
The competition includes classes for both pedigree and crossbreed mutts, as well as different age categories.
The virtual show began on Easter Monday and has already attracted more than 11,000 entries from dog lovers across the UK.

Entries for each class open in the morning, with owners urged to submit photos or a video of their precious pooch to the Kennel Club’s social media accounts – Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
The winning hound will then be selected by judges from the club, and the winners announced at the end of the day.
You still have time to enter the Prettiest Bitch competition, which is running today, with other categories remaining this week including Best Puppy Dog Eyes, Golden Oldie (for the over seven-year-olds), Best Rescue and Best Dog Doppelganger.
The competition continues until Sunday 3 May. Here FEMAIL brings you a selection of the winners and runners-up so far.
Dior the Dalmatian won the Best Utility class on April 16 – and he’s clearly no stranger to having his picture taken
The winner of the Toy class category was the adorable and immaculately groomed Ziggy the Bichon Frise, from Northampton
Working class winner was Queenie the five-year-old St Bernard. This photo is of her visit to her ancestral home in Switzerland. Last Christmas she helped raise money for schools in Africa selling mince pies in her reindeer antlers
Pastoral class winner was retired Police dog Pharaoh who served in the West Midlands police dog unit. He’s now enjoying his retirement, living with his handler
Gundog class winner was Shadow the Labrador. Shadow is a Working Gundog, Blood Donor, and has an Organ and tissue donor card, plus he’s competed at Crufts twice
Hound class winner was Maximus the Otterhound. He loves to cuddle everyone, and enjoys naps and tasty treats
Handsome dog class winner was Bilbo the Cocker Spaniel, pictured in a rather dashing bow tie
Terrier class winner was Fudge the Cairn Terrier. Despite having a bad start in life, having been abandoned just before Christmas when he was five months old, he has a great temperament and is super willing to learn. He loves his agility and trick training

Louby the West Highlands Terrier was also a popular choice among the judges within the Terrier group
Hathi the Kooikerhondje entered best Utility – and though she didn’t win the trophy, at least she’s still got her toy
What a mucky pup! Jasper the Miniature Poodle was entered into the Best Utility category
This Airedale terrier, called Mr Darcy, didn’t win overall – but he certainly won the hearts of the judges
Kelly the Greyhound was also a favourite among the judges thanks to her glossy coat and gentle nature
Albert, a 17 week-old Miniature Schnauzer puppy, is full of mischief and mayhem and his owner Donna credits him as being a much welcomed release from all the current craziness
Betty, a six month-old Hungarian Pumi, was up there in the Puppy category but just missed out
Ruari, an eight-week-old Irish Setter who loves a teddy bear (and clearly a snooze) was also among the runners up in the Puppy category

Frodo, an Italian Spinone and complete gentleman who loves to snuggle and protect his mum, was a runner-up in the Most Handsome Dog category
