Crufts has made its highly-anticipated return - but it hasn't been a smooth one.
Fans watching the world's largest dog show on YouTube have vented their frustration at the stream dipping in and out.
Running smoothly until 2.25pm, dog lovers have been met with a "No Ingest Stream" message splashed across their computer and phone screens.
It came as dogs competing in the agility championships for small to medium breeds entered the main arena.
Many have taken to YouTube's live chat to ask whether others have been experiencing similar issues, with one user saying: "It was streaming fine for ages and in the last 10 minutes keep getting drop outs."

Another user added: "I better not have missed Sully and Ashley."
All making the same joke, users told Crufts to keep an eye on their competing dogs because they must be "chewing through the cables".
One user joked: "Next year: No cable chewing championship."
Another said: "Oh no the dogs are trying to break everything."
A third added: "Just because you didn't win in your category doesn't mean you can go around chewing the cables and knocking out the stream."
From now until Sunday, Crufts will be broadcasting across the UK on Channel for a More4 for a record-breaking 16 hours.
The celebrations officially kicked off at the launch on March 8, with Paralympics presenter, Sophie Morgan, announced as the new face of Crufts.
Sophie said: "I'm so happy Crufts is back! Every dog has its day at this amazing event and these three breeds making history are among them."
