Hundreds of four-legged competitors and their proud owners descended on the historic grounds of Harewood House yesterday for day two of the prestigious Leeds Championship Dog Show.
One of the UK’s premier Crufts qualifiers - now in its 44th year at the estate - the annual event has brought together over 160 Kennel Club breeds for four days of fierce competition, tail-wagging, and canine excellence.
Organised by the Leeds City and District Canine Association, the four-day show is one of the biggest events on the UK canine calendar, drawing exhibitors from across the country.
From immaculate grooming to high-stakes judging in the Crufts qualifier, our photographer Steve Riding was on hand to capture all the action.
Take a look through our photo gallery below.
