The Best in Show competition will see seven finalists competing to win the most celebrated title in the world of dogs.
Each represents a group - Gundog, Working, Pastoral, Terrier, Hound, Utility and Toy dogs.
And the North East is well represented with winners in the hound and terrier groups.
First up were Sue Mowbray and Luna, from Morpeth, won the Best of Breed for the Sussex Spaniels on Thursday afternoon.
Luna's victory was followed by Liz Cudlip from County Durham who brought Bruce, which took the Best of Breed title for the Basset Hounds on Saturday.
And John McNally and Daisy, from Consett, won the Best of Breed for the Bedlington terriers on Saturday too. The terriers are named after the Northumberland town where they were first bred.
Organised by The Kennel Club, Crufts is billed as the greatest dog event in the world and aims to celebrate every aspect of the role that dogs play in our lives.
Crufts Best In Show Live will air on Channel 4 from 7pm - 9pm on Sunday March 12.
