Pampered pooches have been snapped having their final preparations made for today’s events at Crufts.
Sunday marks the fourth and final day of the dog show, which sees people bring their pets from around the world to compete in agility and obedience competitions.
As the climax of the four-day event, one pooch will be awarded Cruft’s top honour, the Best In Show award.
Throughout the last few days, dogs have been snapped wearing top outfits including printed coats, bright leg warmers, and headwear.
And today’s attendees have been just as smart, donning their cute accessories, and showing off their patience as they sit still during epic grooming sessions.
Crufts, which has been running since 1891, is considered the most prestigious canine competition in the world. Here, FEMAIL takes a look at some of the highlights from Day Four of the competition…
Day four of Crufts is Utility and Toy breeds. Here, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier is prepped for competition

Blow dry: this Miniature Schnauzer will soon look as though they just stepped out of a salon, after having their beard blow dried
Despite having a luscious fur coat, this pampered pooch still required a stylish jumper to ward off the bracing wind as she arrived at Crufts today
In the pink: meanwhile, leg warmers were the order of the day for this well-groomed dog, who was snapped trotting to the arena this morning
Windy: despite bravely making their way through the adverse weather conditions, it was clear the powerful breeze was having an effect on these dogs’ dos

Tiring work: a sleepy Maltese dog rests in their pen amid the action on day 4 of the world-famous event
Coiffed: this Yorkshire Terrier underwent some serious grooming ahead of competing in today’s event

Many of the animals showed off their impeccable patience and character as they stood quietly while being primped
For one of the Yorkshire Terriers, preparation included having curlers wrapped in their fur, to create the desired look
