Papillon Sophia and owner Glenn Robb, of Oswestry, won the Toy group title at Crufts 2025. 

The young dog was just one of seven in the Best in Show final held on Sunday evening (March 9). 

And despite missing out on the big prize, Glenn told the Shropshire Star that it was  “incredible” to see Sophia take home a prestigious title at just 17-months-old. 

“It's an absolute dream,” Glenn said.
