Crufts 2025 backlash over winner as fans claim favourite is 'robbed'
Briefly

At the 2025 Crufts dog show in Birmingham, the Best in Show title was awarded to Miuccia, a four-year-old whippet, leading to backlash from viewers who believed a Jack Russell, Ana, deserved the win. Miuccia made history as the first Italian dog to achieve this honor, while Viking, a Tibetan Mastiff, was named runner-up. Despite her victory, many fans declared Miuccia's win unjust, voicing their opinions on social media and emphasizing Ana's popularity as the public favorite, igniting a debate on judging criteria.
Crufts took place over four days at the NEC in Birmingham, showcasing over 18,000 dogs competing, with Miuccia the whippet winning Best in Show.
The decision to crown Miuccia caused uproar on social media, with many fans declaring a Jack Russell named Ana was robbed of the title.
