The show also features a wide range of great canine competition, with today's highlight undoubtedly being the grand final of the hugely popular Scruffts Family Crossbreed of the Year competition. The competition was judged by a panel of celebrity judges made up of Merlin and Little Britain star, Anthony Head (though he'll always be Giles from Buffy to me), Sarah Hadland from Miranda and Waterloo Road, and BBC Radio London presenters Jo Good and Anna Webb.

Together they had the tricky task of choosing just one dog in each of the four heats held during the day before picking one overall winner. The panel heard many wonderful dog tales before finally settling on three year-old Milo, owned by Sarah Singleton from Yeovil, Somerset, who had earlier won the Most Handsome Crossbreed Dog category.

The Bath Spa University study carried out in association with the Kennel Club’s Discover Dogs event taking place on 12-13 November, found that a person’s choice of dog breed is likely to indicate how a person ranks in the five common personality traits – conscientiousness, intelligence and creativity, emotional stability, extroversion and agreeableness.

What do eminent scientist Sir Isaac Newton and socialite Paris Hilton have in common? They both own or owned toy dogs, and according to a new psychological study this means that they share similar personality traits, including ranking the most highly on the intelligence scale.

Forget celebrity perfume, dog collars are the new ‘it’ thing. Having starred as the Prime Minister in Little Britain, actor Anthony Head now joins a host of British celebrities, including Julian Clary and Kate Silverton who have each designed a dog collar in aid of the Kennel Club Charitable Trust.
