At least 160,000 dog lovers visited the NEC Arena in Birmingham to watch the many different dogs perform their best tricks. But only one talented pooch will scoop the prestigious Best in Show title. Who won Best in Show? Dylan the Papillon, nicknamed Dylan the Villain, won Best in Show after being triumphant in the Toy category. Some of the categories today included agility, heelwork, flyball and displays, plus the group judging for the utility and toy dogs. The winners of Best in Breed competed against others in their group today, including Toys, Gundogs, Utility, Hounds, Working, Pastoral, and Terriers for the Best in Group award. Those seven winners from each group then went head to head for Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show.<doc-sep>OLI SCARFF/Getty Images Dylan made history at 2019 Crufts by becoming the first Papillon to win Best in Show at the annual event. It was a busy Sunday for Dylan, nicknamed "the villain," who qualified for the showpiece event by winning the Toy Group earlier, before judge Dan Ericsson made the historic call at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. There was also room for Mighty Mike, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen who had won the Hound Group earlier in the week and was named reserve best in show.

Liver and white-spotted Dalmatian Nugget stepped out in style, but Japanese Shiba Inu Shougi appeared to be the crowd's favourite. However, Shougi could only manage third after Thailand Shih Tzu Bearly was awarded top spot by a decisive Kitchener: Next up was the Toy Group, where judge Julie Sparrow made some discerning choices, including English Toy Terrier Minnie and four-year-old Spencer, a delicate Italian Greyhound. Pekingese champion Yakee the Aristocrat was also in the running, but the honour of winning the group went to Dylan, while Spencer was third. Dylan's win meant the finalists were now set for the prestigious Best in Show event. Things began with Ericsson watching each contender being put through their paces.

Over the last four days roughly 28,000 pooches have been put through their paces at the biggest dog show in the world at Birmingham's NEC. As the winner, Dylan receives a replica of the solid silver Keddall Memorial Trophy (named after show manager for 30 years, Robert Keddall) and a cash prize of £100. The pooch nicknamed 'Dylan the villain' was dwarfed by the prize. It was a Crufts first as a Papillon has never won the top spot before.

The dogs were 'scared' by the events and most were ushered off once their handlers realised what was happening. There were boos from the large crowd as they slammed the intruders, whose shouts were drowned out, for ruining the special moment and the trophy was lifted away.
